10. Butthose who hate him he will repay to their face by destruction;he will not be slow to repay to their face those who hate him.
11. Therefore, take care to follow the commands, decrees and laws I give you today.
12. If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.
13. He will love you and bless you and increase your numbers. He will bless the fruit of your womb, the crops of your land – your corn, new wine and oil – the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land that he swore to your ancestors to give you.
14. You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor any of your livestock without young.
15. The Lord will keep you free from every disease. He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt, but he will inflict them on all who hate you.
16. You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
17. You may say to yourselves, ‘These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?’
