(A)If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to do them, then (B)I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will give forth its produce and the trees of the field will give forth their fruit. (C)Indeed, your threshing will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. You will thus eat your [a]food to the full and (D)live securely in your land. (E)I shall also give you peace in the land so that (F)you may lie down, with no one making you tremble. (G)I shall also eliminate wild beasts from the land, and (H)no sword will pass through your land. But you will pursue your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword; (I)and five of you will pursue one hundred, and one hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword. So I will turn toward you and (J)make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will (K)confirm My covenant with you. 10 (L)And you will eat the old supply and clear out the old because of the new. 11 (M)Moreover, I will [b]make My [c]dwelling among you, and My soul will not loathe you. 12 (N)I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 13 (O)I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and (P)I broke the bars of your yoke and made you walk erect.

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. And all these blessings will come upon you and (C)overtake you if you listen to the voice of Yahweh your God:

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

“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.

“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

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

“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. 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. (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.

Blessings for Obedience

28 If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow(A) all his commands(B) I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth.(C) All these blessings will come on you(D) and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God:

You will be blessed(E) in the city and blessed in the country.(F)

The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.(G)

Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.(H)

The Lord will grant that the enemies(I) who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.(J)

The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless(K) you in the land he is giving you.

The Lord will establish you as his holy people,(L) as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands(M) of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. 10 Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name(N) of the Lord, and they will fear you. 11 The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock(O) and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.(P)

12 The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse(Q) of his bounty,(R) to send rain(S) on your land in season and to bless(T) all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.(U) 13 The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow(V) them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.(W) 14 Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left,(X) following other gods and serving them.
