22 But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries.
I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be blessed."
Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies, and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
Their children also shall be as before, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all who oppress them.
For thus says Yahweh of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye.
