¹³If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today and love the Lord your God and serve him with your whole being, ¹⁴then he will send rain on your land at the right time, in the fall and spring, and you will be able to gather your grain, new wine, and oil. ¹⁵He will put grass in the fields for your cattle, and you will have plenty to eat.

¹⁶Be careful, or you will be fooled and will turn away to serve and worship other gods. ¹⁷If you do, the Lord will become angry with you and will shut the heavens so it will not rain. Then the land will not grow crops, and you will soon die in the good land the Lord is giving you. ¹⁸Remember my words with your whole being. Write them down and tie them to your hands as a sign; tie them on your foreheads to remind you. ¹⁹Teach them well to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ²⁰Write them on your doors and gates ²¹so that both you and your children will live a long time in the land the Lord promised your ancestors, as long as the skies are above the earth.
