“I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.”
The promised consequence of obedience: "Then I would quickly subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries." The protection and military victory promised contingent upon obedience emphasize the covenantal principle that God's protection depends on Israel's faithfulness. The phrase "turn my hand against" makes clear that God's power would be deployed on Israel's behalf.
