22 But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then (A)I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. 23 (B)For My angel will go before you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them. 24 (C)You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; (D)but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their (E)memorial stones in pieces. 25 (F)And you shall serve the Lord your God, [a]and He will bless your bread and your water; and (G)I will remove sickness from your midst. 26 There will be no one miscarrying or (H)unable to have children in your land; (I)I will fulfill the number of your days. 27 I will (J)send My terror ahead of you, and (K)throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will (L)make all your enemies turn their backs to you.

22 If you listen carefully to what he says and do(A) all that I say, I will be an enemy(B) to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you. 23 My angel will go ahead of you and bring you into the land of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites,(C) and I will wipe them out. 24 Do not bow down before their gods or worship(D) them or follow their practices.(E) You must demolish(F) them and break their sacred stones(G) to pieces. 25 Worship the Lord your God,(H) and his blessing(I) will be on your food and water.

(A)If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out, then (B)I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit. (C)Indeed, your threshing season will last for you until grape gathering, and grape gathering will last until sowing time. So you will eat your [a]food to the full and (D)live securely in your land. (E)I shall also grant peace in the land, so that (F)you may lie down, with no one to make you afraid. (G)I shall also eliminate harmful animals from the land, and (H)no sword will pass through your land. Instead, you will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword; (I)five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; and your enemies will fall before you by the sword. So I will turn toward you and (J)make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will (K)confirm My covenant with you. 10 And (L)you will eat the old supply, and clear out the old because of the new. 11 (M)Moreover, I will make My [b]dwelling among you, and My soul will not [c]reject you. 12 (N)I will also walk among you and be your God, and you shall be My people. 13 (O)I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would not be their slaves, and (P)I broke your yoke and made you walk erect.

Promises of God

12 (A)Then it shall come about, because you listen to these judgments and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep [a]His covenant with you and [b]His faithfulness which He swore to your forefathers. 13 And He will (B)love you, bless you, and (C)make you numerous; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the newborn of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, [c]in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you. 14 You shall be blessed above all peoples; there will be no sterile male or (D)infertile female among you or among your cattle. 15 And (E)the Lord will remove from you all sickness; and He will not inflict upon you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt which you have known, but He will give them to all who hate you. 16 You shall consume all the peoples whom the Lord your God will turn over to you; (F)your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be (G)a snare to you.

17 “If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I (H)dispossess them?’ 18 you are not to be afraid of them; you shall (I)remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: 19 (J)the great trials which your eyes saw and the signs and the wonders, and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. 20 Indeed, the Lord your God will send (K)the hornet against them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish. 21 You are not to be terrified of them, because (L)the Lord your God is in your midst, (M)a great and awesome God. 22 (N)And the Lord your God will drive away these nations from you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly, otherwise the [d]wild animals would become too numerous for you. 23 (O)But the Lord your God will turn them over to you, and will [e]throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed. 24 (P)And He will hand over their kings to you, so that you will eliminate their name from under heaven; (Q)no one will be able to stand against you until you have destroyed them. 25 The carved images of their gods you are to (R)burn with fire; you shall (S)not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, or you will be (T)trapped by it; for it is an (U)abomination to the Lord your God. 26 And you shall not bring an abomination into your house and become (V)designated for destruction, like it; you are to utterly detest it, and you are to utterly loathe it, for it is something designated for destruction.

12 If you pay attention to these laws and are careful to follow them, then the Lord your God will keep his covenant of love with you, as he swore to your ancestors.(A) 13 He will love you and bless you(B) and increase your numbers.(C) He will bless the fruit of your womb,(D) the crops of your land—your grain, new wine(E) and olive oil(F)—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.(G) 14 You will be blessed more than any other people; none of your men or women will be childless, nor will any of your livestock be without young.(H) 15 The Lord will keep you free from every disease.(I) He will not inflict on you the horrible diseases you knew in Egypt,(J) but he will inflict them on all who hate you.(K) 16 You must destroy all the peoples the Lord your God gives over to you.(L) Do not look on them with pity(M) and do not serve their gods,(N) for that will be a snare(O) to you.

17 You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?(P) 18 But do not be afraid(Q) of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.(R) 19 You saw with your own eyes the great trials, the signs and wonders, the mighty hand(S) and outstretched arm, with which the Lord your God brought you out. The Lord your God will do the same to all the peoples you now fear.(T) 20 Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet(U) among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. 21 Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you,(V) is a great and awesome God.(W) 22 The Lord your God will drive out those nations before you, little by little.(X) You will not be allowed to eliminate them all at once, or the wild animals will multiply around you. 23 But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.(Y) 24 He will give their kings(Z) into your hand,(AA) and you will wipe out their names from under heaven. No one will be able to stand up against you;(AB) you will destroy them.(AC) 25 The images of their gods you are to burn(AD) in the fire. Do not covet(AE) the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared(AF) by it, for it is detestable(AG) to the Lord your God. 26 Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction.(AH) Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
