Deuteronomy 7:12 In-Context

10 But he repays those who hate him to their face and destroys them. He will not be slow to deal with someone who hates him; he will repay him to his face.
11 Therefore, you are to keep the mitzvot, laws and rulings which I am giving you today, and obey them.
12 "Because you are listening to these rulings, keeping and obeying them, ADONAI your God will keep with you the covenant and mercy that he swore to your ancestors.
13 He will love you, bless you and increase your numbers; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground - your grain, wine, olive oil and the young of your cattle and sheep - in the land he swore to your ancestors that he would give you.
14 You will be blessed more than all other peoples; there will not be a sterile male or female among you, and the same with your livestock.
