Leviticus 26:6
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.
And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
8 Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
