וְהָיָה ׀ עֵקֶב תִּשְׁמְעוּן אֵת הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים הָאֵלֶּה וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם וַעֲשִׂיתֶם אֹתָם וְשָׁמַר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ לְךָ אֶת־הַבְּרִית וְאֶת־הַחֶסֶד אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ׃
And if you do obey these rules and observe them carefully, the ETERNAL your God will maintain faithfully for you the covenant made on oath with your fathers:
Targum Onkelos
וִיהֵי חֲלָף דִּתְקַבְּלוּן יָת דִּינַיָּא הָאִלֵּין וְתִטְּרוּן וְתַעְבְּדוּן יָתְהוֹן וְיִטַּר יְיָ אֱלָהָךְ לָךְ יָת קְיָמָא וְיָת חִסְדָּא דְּקַיֵּים לַאֲבָהָתָךְ׃
In the future, as a consequence of [in exchange for] your heeding these laws, and your guarding and fulfilling them; Adonoy, your God, will guard for you the covenant and the kindliness that He swore to your forefathers.
- Deuteronomy 7:13
וַאֲהֵבְךָ וּבֵרַכְךָ וְהִרְבֶּךָ וּבֵרַךְ פְּרִי־בִטְנְךָ וּפְרִי־אַדְמָתֶךָ דְּגָנְךָ וְתִירֹשְׁךָ וְיִצְהָרֶךָ שְׁגַר־אֲלָפֶיךָ וְעַשְׁתְּרֹת צֹאנֶךָ עַל הָאֲדָמָה אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּע לַאֲבֹתֶיךָ לָתֶת לָךְ׃
[God] will favor you and bless you and multiply you—blessing your issue from the womb and your produce from the soil, your new grain and wine and oil, the calving of your herd and the lambing of your flock, in the land sworn to your fathers to be assigned to you.
Targum Onkelos
וְיִרְחֲמִנָּךְ וִיבָרְכִנָּךְ וְיַסְגֵּינָךְ וִיבָרֵיךְ וַלְדָּא דִּמְעָךְ וְאִבָּא דְּאַרְעָךְ עֲבוּרָךְ וְחַמְרָךְ וּמִשְׁחָךְ בַּקְרֵי תוֹרָךְ וְעֶדְרֵי עָנָךְ עַל אַרְעָא דְּקַיֵּים לַאֲבָהָתָךְ לְמִתַּן לָךְ׃
He will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; and He will bless the fruit of your belly and the fruit of your soil—your grain, your wine, and your olive oil—the offspring of your cattle, and the herds of your sheep, upon the soil that He swore to your forefathers to give you.
- Deuteronomy 7:14

GOD will ward off from you all sickness—and will not bring upon you any of the dreadful diseases of Egypt, about which you know, but will inflict them upon all your enemies.

You shall destroy all the peoples that the ETERNAL your God delivers to you, showing them no pity. And you shall not worship their gods, for that would be a snare to you.
Targum Onkelos
וּתְגַּמַּר יָת כָּל עַמְמַיָּא דַּייָ אֱלָהָךְ יָהֵיב לָךְ לָא תְחוּס עֵינָךְ עֲלֵיהוֹן וְלָא תִפְלַח יָת טָעֲוָתְהוֹן אֲרֵי לְתַקְלָא יְהוֹן לָךְ׃
