Blessings for Obedience
1"If you fully obey the LORD your God by keeping all the
commands I am giving you today, the LORD your God will exalt you above all the nations of the world. 2You will experience
all these blessings if you obey the LORD your God: 3 You will be blessed in your towns and in the country. 4 You will be
blessed with many children and productive fields. You will be blessed with fertile herds and flocks. 5 You will be blessed with baskets overflowing with fruit, and with kneading bowls filled with bread. 6 You will be blessed wherever you go, both in coming and in going.
7"The LORD will conquer your enemies when they attack you. They will attack you from one direction, but they
will scatter from you in seven! 8"The
LORD will bless everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The LORD your God will bless you in the land
he is giving you. 9"If
you obey the commands of the LORD your God and walk in his ways, the LORD will establish you as his holy people as he solemnly
promised to do. 10Then
all the nations of the world will see that you are a people claimed by the LORD, and they will stand in awe of you. 11"The LORD
will give you an abundance of good things in the land he swore to give your ancestors--many children, numerous livestock,
and abundant crops. 12The
LORD will send rain at the proper time from his rich treasury in the heavens to bless all the work you do. You will lend to
many nations, but you will never need to borrow from them. 13If you listen to these commands of the LORD your God
and carefully obey them, the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always have the upper hand. 14You must not
turn away from any of the commands I am giving you today to follow after other gods.
