Deuteronomy 7:12-21 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

12. “And then because you listen to these regulations and you diligently keep and you do them, then Yahweh your God will maintain his covenant and his loyal love that he swore to your ancestors.

13. And he will love you, and he will bless you, and he will multiply you, and he will bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your soil, your grain, your wine, and your olive oil, and newborn calves of your cattle, and the newborn lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you.

14. You shall be blessed more than all of the peoples; among you there shall not be sterility and bareness, even among domestic animals.

15. And Yahweh will turn away from you all the illness and all the harmful diseases of Egypt that you experienced; he will not lay them on you, but he will lay them on all of those who hate you.

16. And you shall devour all of the peoples that Yahweh your God is giving to you; you shall not pity them, and you shall not serve their gods, which will be a snare for you.

17. “If you think in your heart, ‘These nations are more numerous than I, so how can I dispossess them?’

18. then remember you must not be afraid of them; you must well remember what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt:

19. the great trials that your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders and the workings of the strong hand and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out; so Yahweh your God will do to all of the peoples because of whom you are in fear before them.

20. And, moreover, Yahweh your God will send the hornets among them until both the survivors and the fugitives are destroyed before you.

21. You must not be in dread from the presence of them, because Yahweh your God, who is in your midst, is a great and awesome God.
