Deuteronomy 11:13-17

International Standard Version

Delights of a Bountiful Land

¹³ “If you carefully observe the commands that I’m giving you today—that is, to love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul— ¹⁴ then he^[a] will send rain on the land in its season (the early and latter rains)^[b] and you’ll gather grain, new wine, and oil. ¹⁵ He^[c] will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you’ll eat and be satisfied. ¹⁶ Be careful! Otherwise, your hearts will deceive you and you will turn away to serve other gods and worship them. ¹⁷ The wrath of God will burn against you so that he will restrain the heavens and it won’t rain. The ground won’t yield its produce and you’ll be swiftly destroyed from the good land that the Lord is about to give you.
