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.
13. The Lord will make you the head not the tail, the top not the bottom, if you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I am giving you today, observing them carefully,
14. not turning aside, either to the right or to the left, from any of the words which I am giving you today, following other gods and serving them.
15. But if you do not obey the voice of the Lord, your God, carefully observing all his commandments and statutes which I give you today, all these curses shall come upon you and overwhelm you:
16. May you be cursed in the city, and cursed in the country!
17. Cursed be your grain basket and your kneading bowl!
