If ye shall hearken unto these laws and shall observe and do them, then shall the LORD thy God keep covenant with thee, and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers,

Thou shalt be blessed above all nations; there shall be neither man nor woman unfruitful among you, nor anything unfruitful among your cattle.

Thou shalt see also, that thy seed shall increase, and that thy posterity shall be as the grass upon the earth.

For thou shalt eat the labours of thine own hands; O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be. Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thy house, thy children like the olive branches round about thy table. Lo, thus shall the man be blessed, that feareth the LORD.



Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, "Thou son of man, turn thy face toward the mount Seir, prophesy upon it, and say unto it, 'Thus sayeth the LORD God: Behold, O thou mount Seir, I will upon thee; I will reach out mine hand over thee. Yea, waste and desolate will I make thee. read more.
Thy cities will I break down, and thou shalt lie void: that thou mayest know, how that I am the LORD. Forsomuch as thou bearest an old enemy against the children of Israel, and with a cruel hand hast made them afraid, what time as they were troubled and punished for their sin: Therefore, as truly as I live, sayeth the LORD God, I will prepare thee unto blood. Yea, blood shall follow upon thee: seeing thou layest wait for blood, therefore shall blood persecute thee. Thus will I make the mount Seir desolate and waste, and bring to pass that there shall no man go thither, nor come from thence. His mountains will I fill with his slain men: thy hills, dales and valleys shall lie full of them that are slain with the sword. I will make thee a perpetual wilderness, so that no man shall dwell in thy cities: that ye may know how that I am the LORD. "'And because thou hast said, 'What, both these nations and both these lands must be mine, and I will have them in possession,' whereas the LORD was there: Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: As truly as I live, I will handle thee according to thy wrath and jealousy, like as thou hast dealt cruelly with them - that I may be known among them, how I have punished thee. Yea, and that thou also mayest be sure, that I the LORD have heard all thy despiteful words, which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, 'Lo, they are made waste, and given us to devour.' Thus with your mouths ye have made your boast against me; yea, and multiplied your proud words against me, which I have heard altogether. Whereunto, thus sayeth the LORD God: when the whole world is in wealth, then will I make thee waste. And like as thou, O mount Seir, wast glad because the heritage of the house of Israel was destroyed: even so will I do unto thee also, that thou and whole Edom shall be destroyed - and know that I am the LORD.'"

For thou art a holy nation unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a several people unto himself of all nations that are upon the earth. It was not because of the multitude of you, above all nations, that the LORD had lust unto you and chose you: For ye were fewest of all nations. But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, therefore he brought you out of Egypt with a mighty hand and delivered you out of the house of bondage; even from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. read more.
Understand, therefore, that the LORD thy God, he is God: and that a true God, which keepeth covenant and mercy unto them that love him and keep his commandments, even throughout a thousand generations; and rewardeth them that hate him before his face so that he bringeth them to nought, and will not defer the time unto him that hateth him but will reward him before his face. Keep therefore the commandments, ordinances and laws which I command you this day, that ye do them. If ye shall hearken unto these laws and shall observe and do them, then shall the LORD thy God keep covenant with thee, and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers, and will love thee, bless thee and multiply thee: he will bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy field, thy corn, thy wine and thy oil, the fruit of thine oxen and the flocks of thy sheep in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all nations; there shall be neither man nor woman unfruitful among you, nor anything unfruitful among your cattle. Moreover, the LORD will turn from thee all manner infirmities, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt - which thou knowest - upon thee, but will send them upon them that hate thee.

When all these words are come upon thee, whether it be the blessing or the curse which I have set before thee; yet if thou turn unto thine heart among all the nations whither the LORD thy God hath thrust thee, and come again unto the LORD thy God and hearken unto his voice according to all that I command thee this day - both thou and thy children with all thine heart and all thy soul - then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity and have compassion upon thee and go and fetch thee again from all the nations, among which the LORD thy God shall have scattered thee. read more.
Though thou wast cast unto the extreme parts of heaven: even from thence will the LORD thy God gather thee and from thence fetch thee; and bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt enjoy it. And he will show thee kindness and multiply thee above thy fathers. And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart and the heart of thy seed for to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart and all thy soul, that thou mayest live. And the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies and on them that hate thee and persecute thee.
