Deuteronomy 7:6–13

⁶“For you are ^aa holy people to the Lord your God; the Lord your God has chosen you to be ^ba people for His ¹own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the ²earth.

⁷“^aThe Lord did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples,

⁸but because the Lord loved you and kept the ^aoath which He swore to your forefathers, ^bthe Lord brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of ¹slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

⁹“Know therefore that the Lord your God, ^aHe is God, ^bthe faithful God, ^cwho keeps ¹His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth generation with those who ^dlove Him and keep His commandments;

¹⁰but ^arepays those who hate Him to ¹their faces, to destroy ²them; He will not delay ³with him who hates Him, He will repay him to his face.

¹¹“Therefore, you shall keep the commandment and the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them.

Promises of God

¹²“^aThen it shall come about, because you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you ¹His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers.

¹³“He will ^alove you and bless you and ^bmultiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock, ¹in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you.
