4. I will send you rain at the right time, so that the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit.
5. Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting corn when it is time to pick grapes, and you will still be picking grapes when it is time to sow corn. You will have all that you want to eat, and you will live in safety in your land.
6. “I will give you peace in your land, and you will sleep without being afraid of anyone. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in the land, and there will be no more war there.
7. You will be victorious over your enemies;
8. five of you will be able to defeat a hundred, and a hundred will be able to defeat 10,000.
9. I will bless you and give you many children; I will keep my part of the covenant that I made with you.
34-35. Then the land will enjoy the years of complete rest that you would not give it; it will lie abandoned and get its rest while you are in exile in the land of your enemies.
36. “I will make those of you who are in exile so terrified that the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will make you run. You will run as if you were being pursued in battle, and you will fall when there is no enemy near you.
37. You will stumble over one another when no one is chasing you, and you will be unable to fight against any enemy.
38. You will die in exile, swallowed up by the land of your enemies.
39. The few of you who survive in the land of your enemies will waste away because of your own sin and the sin of your ancestors.
40. “But your descendants will confess their sins and the sins of their ancestors, who resisted me and rebelled against me,
41. and made me turn against them and send them into exile in the land of their enemies. At last, when your descendants are humbled and they have paid the penalty for their sin and rebellion,
42. I will remember my covenant with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will renew my promise to give my people the land.
43. First, however, the land must be rid of its people, so that it can enjoy its complete rest, and they must pay the full penalty for having rejected my laws and my commands.
44. But even then, when they are still in the land of their enemies, I will not completely abandon or destroy them. That would put an end to my covenant with them, and I am the Lord their God.
