8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may kbe strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it; 9 And lthat ye may prolong your days in the land, mwhich the Lord sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, na land that floweth with milk and honey. 10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and owateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs: 11 pBut the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven: 12 A land which the Lord thy God †careth for: qthe eyes of the Lord thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year. 13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, rto love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 That sI will give you the rain of your land in his due season, tthe first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. 15 uAnd I will †send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest xeat and be full. 16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not ydeceived, and ye turn aside, and zserve other gods, and worship them; 17 And then athe Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and bhe shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that cthe land yield not her fruit; and lest dye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.
