“But if you carefully obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
And the Lord your God will put all these curses on your foes and enemies who persecuted you.
Their children shall be as they were of old, and their congregation shall be established before me, and I will punish all who oppress them.
And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches the apple of his eye:
He crouched, he lay down like a lion and like a lioness; who will rouse him up? Blessed are those who bless you, and cursed are those who curse you.”
