1It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to the Lord your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which I command you today, that the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
2All these blessings will come upon you, and overtake you, if you listen to the Lord your God’s voice.
3You shall be blessed in the city, and you shall be blessed in the field.
4You shall be blessed in the fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the fruit of your animals, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock.
5Your basket and your kneading trough shall be blessed.
6You shall be blessed when you come in, and you shall be blessed when you go out.
7The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.
8The Lord will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9The Lord will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.
10All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the Lord’s name, and they will be afraid of you.
11The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12The Lord will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
