22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto 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 the LORD thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee.
Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye.
