Deuteronomy 28:1-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Now, if you diligently obey the voice of the Lord, your God, carefully observing all his commandments which I give you today, the Lord, your God, will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

2. All these blessings will come upon you and overwhelm you when you obey the voice of the Lord, your God:

3. May you be blessed in the city,and blessed in the country!

4. Blessed be the fruit of your womb,the produce of your soil and the offspring of your livestock,the issue of your herds and the young of your flocks!

5. Blessed be your grain basket and your kneading bowl!

6. May you be blessed in your coming in,and blessed in your going out!

7. The Lord will beat down before you the enemies that rise up against you; they will come out against you from one direction, and flee before you in seven.

8. The Lord will affirm the blessing upon you, on your barns and on all your undertakings; he will bless you in the land that the Lord, your God, is giving you.

9. The Lord will establish you as a holy people, as he swore to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord, your God, and walk in his ways.

10. All the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is proclaimed over you, and they will be afraid of you.

11. The Lord will generously increase the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil, upon the land which the Lord swore to your ancestors he would give you.

12. The Lord will open up for you his rich storehouse, the heavens, to give your land rain in due season and to bless all the works of your hands. You will lend to many nations but borrow from none.
