Deuteronomy 11:10-17

10The land you’re about to enter and take possession of isn’t like the land you left in Egypt. There you used to plant your seed, and you had to water it like a vegetable garden.

11The land you’re about to enter is a land with hills and valleys, watered by rain from the sky.

12It is a land the Lord your God cares about. He watches over it all year long.

13If you faithfully obey the commands that I’m giving you today, love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14I will send rain on your land at the right time, both in the fall and in the spring. Then you will gather your own grain, new wine, and olive oil.

15I will provide grass in the fields for your animals, and you will be able to eat all you want.

16Be careful, or you’ll be tempted to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.

17The Lord will become angry with you. He’ll shut the sky so that there’ll be no rain. Then the ground won’t grow any crops, and you’ll quickly disappear from this good land the Lord is giving you.
