13 “And it will happen that if you listen carefully to my commandments that I am commanding you today,[a] to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him with all of your heart and with all of your soul,[b] 14 then ‘I will send the rain for your land in its season, early rain and later rain, and you will gather your grain and your wine and your olive oil. 15 And I will give vegetation in your field for your livestock, and you will eat your fill.’[c] 16 Take care[d] so that your heart is not easily deceived, and you turn away, and you serve other gods, and you bow down to them. 17 And then the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you,[e] and he will shut up the heavens,[f] and there shall not be rain, and so the ground will not give its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land that Yahweh is giving to you.

13 Now, if you completely obey God’s[a] commandments that I am giving you right now, by loving the Lord your God and by serving him with all your heart and all your being, 14 then he[b] will provide rain for your land at the right time—early rain and late rain—so you can stock up your grain, wine, and oil. 15 He[c] will also make your fields lush for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied. 16 But watch yourselves! Otherwise, your heart might be led astray so you stray away, serving other gods and worshipping them. 17 Then the Lord’s anger would burn against you. He will close the sky up tight. There won’t be any rain, and the ground won’t yield any of its crops. You will quickly disappear off the wonderful land the Lord is giving to you.
