(A)‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments, and perform them,

(B)then I will give you rain in its season, (C)the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

(D)Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the time of sowing;

you shall eat your bread to the full, and (E)dwell in your land safely.

(F)I will give peace in the land, and (G)you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid;

I will rid the land of (H)evil[a] beasts,

and (I)the sword will not go through your land.

You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you.

(J)Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight;

your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.

‘For I will (K)look on you favorably and (L)make you fruitful, multiply you and confirm My (M)covenant with you.

10 You shall eat the (N)old harvest, and clear out the old because of the new.
