Leviticus 26:3-13

Contemporary English Version

^3 (A) Faithfully obey my laws, ⁴ and I will send rain to make your crops grow and your trees produce fruit. ⁵ Your harvest of grain and grapes will be so abundant, that you won't know what to do with it all. You will eat and be satisfied, and you will live in safety. ⁶ I will bless your country with peace, and you will rest without fear. I will wipe out the dangerous animals and protect you from enemy attacks. ⁷ You will chase and destroy your enemies, ⁸ even if there are only 5 of you and 100 of them, or only 100 of you and 10,000 of them. ⁹ I will treat you with such kindness that your nation will grow strong, and I will also keep my promises to you. ¹⁰ Your barns will overflow with grain each year. ¹¹ I will live among you and never again look on you with disgust. ^12 (B) I will walk with you—I will be your God, and you will be my people. ¹³ I am the Lord your God, and I rescued you from Egypt, so that you would never again be slaves. I have set you free; now walk with your heads held high.
