Now if you (A)walk before Me (B)as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you (C)keep My statutes and My judgments, then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, (D)as I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’ (E)But if you or your sons at all [a]turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them, (F)then I will [b]cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated (G)for My name I will cast out of My sight. (H)Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

28 “Now it shall come to pass, (B)if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God (C)will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon you and (D)overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God:

(E)“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be (F)in the country.

“Blessed shall be (G)the [a]fruit of your body, the produce of your ground and the increase of your herds, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks.

“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

(H)“Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

“The Lord (I)will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

“The Lord will (J)command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you (K)set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

(L)“The Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways. 10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are (M)called by the name of the Lord, and they shall be (N)afraid of you. 11 And (O)the Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord [b]swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord will open to you His good [c]treasure, the heavens, (P)to give the rain to your land in its season, and (Q)to bless all the work of your hand. (R)You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make (S)you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you [d]heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them. 14 (T)So you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
