Blessings for Keeping the Commandments

28 “^(A)Now it will be, if you diligently listen to the voice of Yahweh your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I am commanding you today, Yahweh your God ^(B)will set you high above all the nations of the earth. ² And all these blessings will come upon you and ^(C)overtake you if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God:

³ “Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be ^(D)in the ^[a]field.

⁴ “Blessed shall be the ^[b]offspring of your ^[c]body and the ^[d]produce of your ground and the ^[e]offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

⁵ “Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

⁶ “Blessed shall you be ^(E)when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

⁷ “Yahweh shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be ^[f]defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways. ⁸ Yahweh will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in ^(F)all that you send forth your hand to do, and He will bless you in the land which Yahweh your God gives you. ^9 (G)Yahweh will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of Yahweh your God and walk in His ways. ¹⁰ So all the peoples of the earth will see that ^[g](H)you are called by the name of Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you. ^11 (I)And Yahweh will make you abound in prosperity, in the ^[h]offspring of your ^[i]body and in the ^[j]offspring of your beast and in the ^[k]produce of your ground, in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers to give you. ¹² Yahweh will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand; and ^(J)you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. ^13 (K)And Yahweh will make you the head and not the tail, and you only will be above, and you will not be underneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you today, to keep and to do, ¹⁴ and ^(L)do not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you today, to the right or to the left, to walk after other gods to serve them.
