Deuteronomy 28:11-13
New English Translation
11 The Lord will greatly multiply your children,[a] the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your soil in the land that he[b] promised your ancestors[c] he would give you. 12 The Lord will open for you his good treasure house, the heavens, to give you rain for the land in its season and to bless all you do;[d] you will lend to many nations but you will not borrow from any. 13 The Lord will make you the head and not the tail, and you will always end up at the top and not at the bottom, if you obey his[e] commandments that I am urging[f] you today to be careful to do.
