Deuteronomy 11:22
20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—
23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.
24 Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
