Blessings for Obedience

1 “And ^xif you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you ^yhigh above all the nations of the earth. 2 And all these blessings shall come upon you and ^zovertake you, if you obey the voice of the Lord your God. 3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and ^aablessed shall you be in the field. 4 Blessed shall be ^abthe fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock. 5 Blessed shall be your basket and your ^ackneading bowl. 6 Blessed shall you be ^adwhen you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

7 “The Lord ^aewill cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you. They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways. 8 The Lord ^afwill command the blessing on you in your barns and ^agin all that you undertake. ^ahAnd he will bless you in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. 9 ^aiThe Lord will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the Lord your God and walk in his ways. 10 And ^ajall the peoples of the earth shall see that you are ^akcalled by the name of the Lord, and they shall be ^alafraid of you. 11 And ^amthe Lord will make you abound in prosperity, in ^anthe fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give you. 12 The Lord will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, ^aoto give the rain to your land in its season and ^apto bless all the work of your hands. And ^aqyou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow. 13 And the Lord will make you ^arthe head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them, 14 ^asand if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Joshua 23:11-13

11 ^atBe very careful, therefore, to love the Lord your God. 12 For if you turn back and cling to the remnant of these nations remaining among you ^auand make marriages with them, so that you associate with them and they with you, 13 know for certain that ^avthe Lord your God will no longer drive out these nations before you, ^awbut they shall be a snare and a trap for you, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground that the Lord your God has given you.

Psalms 37:3

3 ^axTrust in the Lord, and do good;
^aydwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. ^{▼▼Or and feed on faithfulness, or and find safe pasture}

Psalms 81:11-16

11 “But my people did not listen to my voice;
Israel ^bawould not submit to me.
12 So I ^bbgave them over to their ^bcstubborn hearts,
to follow their own ^bdcounsels.
13 ^beOh, that my people would listen to me,
that Israel would ^bfwalk in my ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies
and ^bgturn my hand against their foes.
15 Those who hate the Lord would ^bhcringe toward him,
and their fate would last forever.
16 But he would feed you ^{▼▼That is, Israel; Hebrew him} with ^bjthe finest of the wheat,
and with ^bkhoney from the rock I would satisfy you.”
