11. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
12. The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
13. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
14. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.
15. However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
16. You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17. Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18. The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19. You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
