¹“^aNow it shall be, if you diligently ¹obey the Lord your God, being careful to do all His commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God ^bwill set you high above all the nations of the earth.

²“All these blessings will come upon you and ^aovertake you if you ¹obey the Lord your God:

³“Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be ^ain the ¹country.

⁴“Blessed shall be the ¹offspring of your ²body and the produce of your ground and the offspring of your beasts, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock.

⁵“Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

⁶“Blessed shall you be ^awhen you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

⁷“The Lord shall cause your enemies who rise up against you to be ¹defeated before you; they will come out against you one way and will flee before you seven ways.

⁸“The Lord will command the blessing upon you in your barns and in ^aall that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

⁹“^aThe Lord will establish you as a holy people to Himself, as He swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.

¹⁰“So all the peoples of the earth will see that ¹^ayou are called by the name of the Lord, and they will be afraid of you.

¹¹“^aThe Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in the ¹offspring of your ²body and in the offspring of your beast and in the produce of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.

¹²“The Lord 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 ^ayou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

¹³“^aThe Lord 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 the Lord your God, which I charge you today, to ¹observe them carefully,

¹⁴and ^ado not turn aside from any of the words which I command you today, to the right or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
