13 ‘And it shall be that if you earnestly 5obey My commandments which I command you today, to love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, 14 then jI 6will give you the rain for your land in its season, kthe early rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil. 15 lAnd I will send grass in your fields for your livestock, that you may meat and be 7filled.’ 16 Take heed to yourselves, nlest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and oserve other gods and worship them, 17 lest pthe Lord’s anger be aroused against you, and He qshut up the heavens so that there be no rain, and the land yield no produce, and ryou perish quickly from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18 “Therefore syou shall 8lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your tsoul, and ubind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 19 vYou shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.
