It was not because of the multitude of you above all
nations, that the LORD had lust unto you and chose you. For ye
were fewest of all nations: But because the LORD loved you and
because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your
fathers, therefore he brought you out of Egypt with a mighty hand
and delivered you out of the house of bondage: even from the hand
of Pharao king of Egypt. Understand therefore, that the LORD thy
God he is God and that a true God, which keepeth appointment and
mercy unto them that love him and keep his commandments, even
thorowout a thousand generations and rewardeth them that hate him
before his face so that he bringeth them to nought, and will not
defer the time unto him that hateth him but will reward him before
his face. Keep therefore the commandments, ordinances and laws
which I command you this day, that ye do them. If ye shall hearken
unto these laws and shall observe and do them, then shall the LORD
thy God keep appointment with thee and the mercy which he sware
unto thy fathers and will love thee, bless thee and multiply thee:
he will bless the fruit of thy womb and the fruit of thy field,
thy corn, thy wine and thy oil, the fruit of thine oxen and the
flocks of thy sheep in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to
give thee.
