¹³“If you carefully obey my commands I am giving you today, to love the Lord your God and worship him with all your heart and all your soul, ¹⁴I^D will provide rain for your land in the proper time, the autumn and spring rains,^x and you will harvest your grain, new wine, and fresh oil.^y ¹⁵I^E will provide grass in your fields for your livestock. You will eat and be satisfied.^z ¹⁶Be careful^aa that you are not enticed to turn aside, serve, and bow in worship to other gods.^ab ¹⁷Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you.^ac He will shut the sky, and there will be no rain;^ad the land will not yield its produce, and you will perish quickly from the good land^ae the Lord is giving you.

¹⁸“Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol on your foreheads. ¹⁹Teach them to your children,^af talking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ²⁰Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates,^ag ²¹so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors.^ah
