"Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be ^(C1)in the ^(F1)country.

"Blessed will be the ^(F1)children of your womb, the ^(F1)produce of your ground, and the ^(F1)offspring of your animals: the newborn of your herd and the young of your flock.

"Blessed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.

"Blessed will you be ^(C1)when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.

"The LORD will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be ^(F1)defeated by you; they will go out against you one way and will flee at your presence seven ways.

"The LORD will command the blessing for you in your ^(F1)barns and in ^(C1)everything that you put your hand to, and He will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

"^(C1)And the LORD will give you more than enough prosperity, in the ^(F1)children of your womb, in the ^(F1)offspring of your livestock, and in the ^(F1)produce of your ground, in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.

"The LORD will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless every work of your hand; and ^(C1)you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
