1"And because you listen to these rules and keep and do them, the LORD your God will keep with you
2the covenant and the steadfast love that he swore to your fathers.
13
He will
3love you, bless you, and multiply you.
4He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your wine and your oil, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give you.
14
You shall be blessed above all peoples.
5There shall not be male or female barren among you or among your livestock.
15
And the LORD will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil
6diseases of Egypt, which you knew, will he inflict on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.
16
And
7you shall consume all the peoples that the LORD your God will give over to you.
8Your eye shall not pity them, neither shall you serve their gods, for that would be
9a snare to you.
17
"If you say in your heart, 'These nations are greater than I. How can I dispossess them?'
18
10you shall not be afraid of them but you shall
11remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt,
19
the great trials that your eyes saw,
12the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So will the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
20
Moreover,
13the LORD your God will send hornets among them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you are destroyed.
21
You shall not be in dread of them, for the LORD your God is
14in your midst,
15a great and awesome God.
22
16The LORD your God will clear away these nations before you little by little. You may not make an end of them at once, lest the wild beasts grow too numerous for you.
23
17But the LORD your God will give them over to you and throw them into great confusion, until they are destroyed.
24
And
18he will give their kings into your hand, and you shall
19make their name perish from under heaven.
20No one shall be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them.
25
The carved images of their gods
21you shall burn with fire. You
22shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them or take it for yourselves, lest you be
23ensnared by it, for it is an abomination to the LORD your God.
26
And you shall not bring an abominable thing into your house and become devoted to destruction like it. You shall utterly detest and abhor it,
24for it is devoted to destruction.
