¹³If then you obey my commandments, which I command you this day, that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul:

¹⁴He will give to your land the early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your corn, and your wine, and your oil,

¹⁵And your hay out of the fields to feed your cattle, and that you may eat and be filled.

¹⁶Beware lest perhaps your heart be deceived, and you depart from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them:

¹⁷And the Lord being angry shut up heaven, that the rain come not down, nor the earth yield her fruit, and you perish quickly from the excellent land, which the Lord will give you.

¹⁸Lay up these words in your hearts and minds, and hang them for a sign on your hands, and place them between your eyes.

¹⁹Teach your children that they meditate on them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest on the way, and when thou liest down and risest up.

²⁰Thou shalt write them upon the posts and the doors of thy house:

²¹That thy days may be multiplied, and the days of thy children in the land which the Lord swore to thy fathers, that he would give them as long as the heaven hangeth over the earth.
