7. The Lord will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck before you. They will come out against you one way, and will flee before you seven ways.
8. The Lord will command the blessing on you in your barns, and in all that you put your hand to. He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God gives you.
9. The Lord will establish you for a holy people to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you shall keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.
10. All the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the Lord’s name, and they will be afraid of you.
11. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12. The Lord will open to you his good treasure in the sky, to give the rain of your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, and you will not borrow.
13. The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail. You will be above only, and you will not be beneath; if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, to observe and to do,
14. and shall not turn away from any of the words which I command you today, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
15. But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the Lord your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command you today, that all these curses will come on you, and overtake you.
16. You will be cursed in the city, and you will be cursed in the field.
17. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18. The fruit of your body, the fruit of your ground, the increase of your livestock, and the young of your flock will be cursed.
19. You will be cursed when you come in, and you will be cursed when you go out.
20. The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke, in all that you put your hand to do, until you are destroyed, and until you perish quickly; because of the evil of your doings, by which you have forsaken me.
21. The Lord will make the pestilence cling to you, until he has consumed you from off the land, where you go in to possess it.
22. The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with fiery heat, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew. They will pursue you until you perish.
23. Your sky that is over your head will be bronze, and the earth that is under you will be iron.
