Deuteronomy 28:3-14
1599 Geneva Bible
3 Blessed shalt thou be in the [a]city, and blessed also in the field.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit [b]of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy dough.
6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou [c]comest in, and blessed also when thou goest out.
7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise against thee, to fall before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and shall flee before thee [d]seven ways.
8 The Lord shall command the blessing to be with thee in thy store houses, and in all that thou settest thine [e]hand to, and will bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
9 The Lord shall make thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways,
10 Then all people of the earth shall see that the Name of the Lord is [f]called upon over thee, and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord swore unto thy fathers, to give thee.
12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, even the [g]heaven to give rain unto thy land in due season, and to bless all the work of thine hands: and (A)thou shalt lend unto many nations, but shalt not borrow thyself.
13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the [h]tail, and thou shalt be above only, and shalt not be beneath, if thou obey the commandments of the Lord thy God which I command thee this day, to keep and to do them.
14 But thou shalt not decline from any of the words, which I command you this day, either to the (B)right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
