7 The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies. They hate you and are cruel to you.
8 And you will again obey the Lord. You will keep all his commands that I give you today.
9 The Lord your God will make you successful in everything you do. You will have many children. Your cattle will have many calves. Your fields will produce good crops. He will again be happy with you, just as he was with your ancestors.
10 But you must obey the Lord your God. You must obey his commands and rules that are written in this Book of the Teachings. You must follow the Lord your God with your whole being.
11 This command I give you today is not too hard for you. It is not beyond what you can do.
12 It is not up in heaven. You do not have to ask, “Who will go up to heaven and get it for us? Then we can obey it and keep it.”
13 It is not on the other side of the sea. You do not have to ask, “Who will go across the sea and get it? Who will tell it to us? Then we can keep it.”
