Deuteronomy 7:12-24

New International Version

¹²If 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) ¹³He 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) ¹⁴You 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) ¹⁵The 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) ¹⁶You 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.

¹⁷You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?^(P)” ¹⁸But do not be afraid^(Q) of them; remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.^(R) ¹⁹You 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) ²⁰Moreover, the Lord your God will send the hornet^(U) among them until even the survivors who hide from you have perished. ²¹Do not be terrified by them, for the Lord your God, who is among you,^(V) is a great and awesome God.^(W) ²²The 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. ²³But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, throwing them into great confusion until they are destroyed.^(Y) ²⁴He 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)

Deuteronomy 7:12-24

King James Version

¹²Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

¹³And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

¹⁴Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

¹⁵And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

¹⁶And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.

¹⁷If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?

¹⁸Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;

¹⁹The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.

²⁰Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

²¹Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.

²²And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

²³But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.

²⁴And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.

New King James Version

Blessings of Obedience^(A)

¹²“Then it shall come to pass, because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them, that the Lord your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. ¹³And He will ^(B)love you and bless you and ^[a]multiply you; ^(C)He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He ^[b]swore to your fathers to give you. ¹⁴You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female ^(D)barren among you or among your livestock. ¹⁵And the Lord will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the ^(E)terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you. ¹⁶Also you shall ^[c]destroy all the peoples whom the Lord your God delivers over to you; your eye shall have no pity on them; nor shall you serve their gods, for that will ^(F)be a snare to you.

¹⁷“If you should say in your heart, ‘These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?’— ¹⁸you shall not be afraid of them, but you shall ^(G)remember well what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: ¹⁹^(H)the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs and the wonders, the mighty hand and the outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God brought you out. So shall the Lord your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid. ²⁰^(I)Moreover the Lord your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left, who hide themselves from you, are destroyed. ²¹You shall not be terrified of them; for the Lord your God, the great and awesome God, is among you. ²²And the Lord your God will drive out those nations before you ^(J)little by little; you will be unable to ^[d]destroy them at once, lest the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. ²³But the Lord your God will deliver them over to you, and will inflict defeat upon them until they are destroyed. ²⁴And ^(K)He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you will destroy their name from under heaven; ^(L)no one shall be able to stand ^[e]against you until you have destroyed them.
