Deuteronomy 11:8-12
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Therefore shall ye keep [a]all the commandments, which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land whither ye go to possess it:
9 Also that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and to their seed, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 ¶ For the land whither thou goest to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy [b][c]feet as a garden of herbs:
11 But the land whither ye go to possess it, is a land of mountains and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven.
12 This land doth the Lord thy God care for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.
