Deuteronomy 28:13 in Context — Deuteronomy 28
11 Y te hará Jehová sobreabundar en bienes, en el fruto de tu vientre, y en el fruto de tu bestia, y en el fruto de tu tierra, en el país que juró Jehová á tus padres que te había de dar.
12 Abrirte ha Jehová su buen depósito, el cielo, para dar lluvia á tu tierra en su tiempo, y para bendecir toda obra de tus manos. Y prestarás á muchas gentes, y tú no tomarás emprestado.
13 Y te pondrá Jehová por cabeza, y no por cola: y estarás encima solamente, y no estarás debajo; cuando obedecieres á los mandamientos de Jehová tu Dios, que yo te ordeno hoy, para que [los] guardes y cumplas.
14 Y no te apartes de todas las palabras que yo os mando hoy, ni á diestra ni á siniestra, para ir tras dioses ajenos para servirles.
15 Y será, si no oyeres la voz de Jehová tu Dios, para cuidar de poner por obra todos sus mandamientos y sus estatutos, que yo te intimo hoy, que vendrán sobre ti todas estas maldiciones, y te alcanzarán.
