22 But if thou shalt diligently hearken unto his voice, and do all that I shall say, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee; and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
And Jehovah thy God will put all these curses on thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, who have persecuted thee.
And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.
For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: After the glory, hath he sent me unto the nations that made you a spoil; for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
