Blessings on Obedience Duet 28
“Now it shall come to pass, if I diligently obey the voice of the LORD my God, to observe
carefully all His commandments which He commands me, that the LORD my God will set
me high above all nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon me
and overtake me, because I obey the voice of the LORD my God:
3
“Blessed shall I be in the city, and blessed shall I be in the country.
4
“Blessed shall be the [a]fruit of my body, the produce of my ground and the increase of
my herds, the increase of my cattle and the offspring of my flocks.
5
“Blessed shall be my basket and my kneading bowl.
6
“Blessed shall I be when I come in, and blessed shall I be when I go out.
7
“The LORD will cause my enemies who rise against me to be defeated before my face;
they shall come out against me one way and flee before me seven ways.
8
“The LORD will command the blessing on me in my storehouses and in all to which I set
my hand, and He will bless me in the land which the LORD my God is giving me.
9
“The LORD will establish me as a holy people to Himself, just as He has sworn to me, if I
keep the commandments of the LORD my God and walk in His ways.
10
Then all peoples of the earth shall see that I am called by the name of the LORD, and
they shall be afraid of me.
11
And the LORD will grant me plenty of goods, in the fruit of my body, in the increase of
my livestock, and in the produce of my ground, in the land of which the LORD [b]swore to
my fathers to give me
12
The LORD will open to me His good [c]treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to my land
in its season, and to bless all the work of my hand. I shall lend to many nations, but I shall
not borrow.
13
And the LORD will make me the head and not the tail; I shall be above only, and not be
beneath, if I [d]heed the commandments of the LORD my God, which He commands me
today, and are careful to observe them.
14
So I shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command I this day, to the right
or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
