6. “ ‘I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid. I will remove wild beasts from the land, and the sword will not pass through your country.
7. You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
8. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
9. “ ‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant with you.
10. You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the new.
11. I will put my dwelling place among you, and I will not abhor you.
12. I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.
13. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high.
14. “ ‘But if you will not listen to me and carry out all these commands,
15. and if you reject my decrees and abhor my laws and fail to carry out all my commands and so violate my covenant,
16. then I will do this to you: I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
