* "
And if you obey the voice of the LORD your God ,
being careful to do all his commandments which I command you this day ,
the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth .
*
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you ,
if you obey the voice of the LORD your God .
*
Blessed shall you be in the city ,
and blessed shall you be in the field .
*
Blessed shall be the fruit of your body ,
and the fruit of your ground ,
and the fruit of your beasts ,
the increase of your cattle ,
and the young of your flock .
*
Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading-trough .
*
Blessed shall you be when you come in ,
and blessed shall you be when you go out .
* "
The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you ;
they shall come out against you one way ,
and flee before you seven ways .
*
The LORD will command the blessing upon you in your barns ,
and in all that you undertake ;
and he will bless you in the land which the LORD your God gives you .
*
The LORD will establish you as a people holy to himself ,
as he has sworn to you ,
if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God ,
and walk in his ways .
*
And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD ;
and they shall be afraid of you .
*
And the LORD will make you abound in prosperity ,
in the fruit of your body ,
and in the fruit of your cattle ,
and in the fruit of your ground ,
within the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you .
*
The LORD will open to you his good treasury the heavens ,
to give the rain of your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands ;
and you shall lend to many nations ,
but you shall not borrow .
*
And the LORD will make you the head ,
and not the tail ;
and you shall tend upward only ,
and not downward ;
if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God ,
which I command you this day ,
being careful to do them ,
*
and if you do not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day ,
to the right hand or to the left ,
to go after other gods to serve them .
