He will give fertility to your land and your animals. When you arrive in the land he swore to give your ancestors, you will have large harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil, and great herds of cattle, sheep, and goats. 14 You will be blessed above all the nations of the earth.

He will not let you suffer from the terrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all your enemies!
