Deuteronomy 11:13-17
New American Standard Bible
13 “And it shall come about, (A)if you listen obediently to my commandments which I am commanding you today, (B)to love the Lord your God and to serve Him (C)with all your heart and all your soul, 14 that [a](D)He will provide rain for your land in its season, the [b](E)early and [c]late rain, so that you may gather your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 [d](F)He will also provide grass in your field for your cattle, and (G)you will eat and be satisfied. 16 [e](H)Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. 17 Otherwise, (I)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will (J)shut up the sky (K)so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then (L)you will quickly perish from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

Deuteronomy 11:13-17
New Living Translation
13 “If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, 14 then he will send the rains in their proper seasons—the early and late rains—so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil. 15 He will give you lush pastureland for your livestock, and you yourselves will have all you want to eat.
16 “But be careful. Don’t let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the Lord and serve and worship other gods. 17 If you do, the Lord’s anger will burn against you. He will shut up the sky and hold back the rain, and the ground will fail to produce its harvests. Then you will quickly die in that good land the Lord is giving you.
