9 The Lord will establish you as His holy people, as He swore to you, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
10 Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the Lord's name, and they will stand in awe of you.
11 The Lord will make you prosper abundantly with children,[a] the offspring of your livestock, and your soil's produce in the land the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The Lord will open for you His abundant storehouse, the sky, to give your land rain in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward if you listen to the Lord your God's commands I am giving you today and are careful to follow [them].
14 Do not turn aside to the right or the left from all the things I am commanding you today, and do not go after other gods to worship them.

Curses for Disobedience

15 "But if you do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all His commands and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overtake you:[b]
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17 Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
18 Your descendants[c] will be cursed, and your soil's produce, the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.

Deuteronomy 28:9-19 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DEUTERONOMY 28

In this chapter Moses enlarges on the blessings and the curses which belong, the one to the doers, the other to the transgressors of the law; the blessings, De 28:1-14; the curses, some of which concern individual persons, others the whole nation and body of people, and that both under the former and present dispensations, and which had their fulfilment in their former captivities, and more especially in their present dispersion, De 28:15-68.
