Buying a House

The LORD will decree a blessing on your barns and on everything to which you put your hand; the LORD your God will bless you in the land He is giving you.

Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure places of rest.

Complete your outdoor work and prepare your field; after that, you may build your house.

Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart.

Commit your way to the LORD; trust in Him, and He will do it.

By wisdom a house is built and by understanding it is established;

…through knowledge its rooms are filled with every precious and beautiful treasure.

“Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.

I have given you every place where the sole of your foot will tread, just as I promised to Moses.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates. …

But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
