Deuteronomy 11:8-17

8You shall therefore keepH8104 everyH3605 commandmentH4687 IH595 am giving you todayH6680H3117, so thatH4616 you may have the strengthH2388 to go inH935 and possessH3423 the landH776 thatH834 youH859 are crossingH5674 the Jordan to possessH3423, 9and so thatH4616 you may live longH748H3117 inH5921 the landH127 thatH834 the LORDH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 to giveH5414 them and their descendantsH2233, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

10ForH3588 the landH776 thatH834 youH859 are enteringH935H8033 to possessH3423 is notH3808 like the landH776 of EgyptH4714, from whichH1931 you have comeH3318H8033, whereH834 you sowedH2232 your seedH2233 and irrigatedH8248 on footH7272, like a vegetableH3419 gardenH1588. 11But the landH776 thatH834 youH859 are crossingH5674 the Jordan to possessH3423 is a landH776 of mountainsH2022 and valleysH1237 that drinks inH8354H4325 the rainH4306 from heavenH8064. 12It is a landH776 for whichH834 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 caresH1875; the eyesH5869 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430 are alwaysH8548 on it, from the beginningH7225 toH5704 the endH319H8141 of the yearH8141.

13SoH1961 ifH518 you carefully obeyH8085H413 the commandmentsH4687 IH595 am giving you todayH6680, to loveH157 the LORDH3068 your GodH430 and to serve HimH5647 with allH3605 your heartH3824 and with allH3605 your soulH5315, 14then I will provideH54141 rainH4306 for your landH776 in seasonH6256, the autumn and spring rainsH3138H4456, that you may gatherH622 your grainH1715, new wineH8492, and oilH3323. 15And I will provideH5414 grassH6212 in the fieldsH7704 for your livestockH929, and you will eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646.

16But be carefulH8104 that you are notH6435 enticedH6601H3824 to turn asideH5493 to worshipH5647 and bow downH7812 to otherH312 godsH430, 17or the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you. He will shutH6113 the heavensH8064 so that there will beH1961 noH3808 rainH4306, nor willH3808 the landH127 yieldH5414 its produceH2981, and you will soon perishH6H4120 fromH5921 the goodH2896 landH776 thatH834 the LORDH3068 is givingH5414 you.
