9. I will turn my face to you, will make you fruitful and numerous, and will keep my covenant with you.
10. You will still be eating the previous year’s harvest when the time will come to clear it out to make room for the new!
11. I will place my dwelling among you, and I will not despise you.
12. I will walk around among you; I will be your God, and you will be my people.
13. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt’s land—who brought you out from being Egypt’s slaves. I broke your bonds and made you stand up straight.
14. But if you do not obey me and do not carry out all these commands—
15. if you reject my rules and despise my regulations, not doing all my commands and breaking my covenant—
16. then I will do the following to you:I will bring horrific things: wasting diseases and fevers that make the eyes fail and drain life away.You will plant seed for no reason because your enemies will eat the food.
17. I will turn my face against you: you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you; and you will run away even when no one is chasing you.
