buying a house

⁸The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.

¹⁸And my people will be seated in the beauty of peacefulness, and in the tabernacles of faithfulness, and in the opulence of restfulness.

⁴Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart. ⁵Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him, and he will accomplish it.

²⁷Prepare your outdoor work, and diligently cultivate your field, so that afterward, you may build your house.

³By wisdom shall a house be built, and by prudence shall it be strengthened. ⁴By doctrine, the storerooms shall be filled with every substance that is precious and most beautiful.

⁵Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruit.

³I will deliver to you every place that the step of your foot will tread upon, just as I said to Moses.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.

⁹And you shall write them at the threshold and on the doors of your house. ¹⁰And when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, about which he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and when he will have given to you great and excellent cities, which you did not build; ¹¹houses full of goods, which you did not amass; cisterns, which you did not dig; vineyards and olive groves, which you did not plant;

¹⁸But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.

⁶You shall lend money to many nations, and you yourselves shall borrow in return from no one. You shall rule over very many nations, and no one shall rule over you.

³¹For you shall cross over the Jordan, so that you may possess the land which the Lord your God will give you, so that you may have it and possess it.

¹⁹And may my God fulfill all your desires, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

³³For you shall walk in the way that the Lord your God has instructed, so that you may live, and it may be well with you, and your days may be extended in the land of your possession.’ ”
