Deuteronomy 11:22-25
New English Translation
22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments[a] I am giving you[b] and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards,[c] and remain loyal to him, 23 then he[d] will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you. 24 Every place you set your foot[e] will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates) as far as the Mediterranean Sea.[f] 25 Nobody will be able to resist you; the Lord your God will spread the fear and terror of you over the whole land on which you walk, just as he promised you.
