13 “And if you will indeed obey my commandments that I command you today, (A)to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 (B)he[a] will give the rain for your land in its season, (C)the early rain and the later rain, that you may gather in your grain and your wine and your oil. 15 (D)And he will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and (E)you shall eat and be full. 16 Take care (F)lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and (G)serve other gods and worship them; 17 then (H)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and he (I)will shut up the heavens, so that there will be no rain, and the land will yield no fruit, and (J)you will perish quickly off the good land that the Lord is giving you.

13 So if you faithfully obey(A) the commands I am giving you today—to love(B) the Lord your God and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul(C) 14 then I will send rain(D) on your land in its season, both autumn and spring rains,(E) so that you may gather in your grain, new wine and olive oil. 15 I will provide grass(F) in the fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be satisfied.(G)

16 Be careful, or you will be enticed to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.(H) 17 Then the Lord’s anger(I) will burn against you, and he will shut up(J) the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,(K) and you will soon perish(L) from the good land the Lord is giving you.
