He Will Love Thee, and Bless Thee
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye
hearken to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the LORD thy God shall
keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: and
he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the
fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine
oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which
he sware unto thy fathers to give thee. Thou shalt be blessed above all people:
there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. And
the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil
diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all
them that hate thee. And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy
God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt
thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
If thou shalt say in
thine heart, these nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them? Thou
shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did
unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt; the great temptations which thine eyes saw,
and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm,
whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto
all the people of whom thou art afraid. Moreover the LORD thy God will send the
hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be
destroyed. Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God is among
you, a mighty God and terrible. And the LORD thy God will put out those nations
before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest
the beasts of the field increase upon thee. But the LORD thy God shall deliver
them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be
destroyed. And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt
destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand
before thee, until thou have destroyed them. The graven images of their gods
shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on
them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an
abomination to the LORD thy God. Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into
thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest
it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Deuteronomy 7:12-26
