Deuteronomy 11:13-28

13“It shall comeH1961 about, 1ifH518 you listenH8085 obedientlyH8085 to my commandmentsH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, 2to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430 and to serveH5647 Him 3with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315, 14that 45He will giveH5414 the rainH4306 for your landH776 in its seasonH6256, the 67earlyH3138 and 8lateH4456 rainH3138H4456, that you may gatherH622 in your grainH1715 and your newH8492 wineH8492 and your oilH3323. 15910He will giveH5414 grassH6212 in your fieldsH7704 for your cattleH929, and 11you will eatH398 and be satisfiedH7646. 161213BewareH8104 that your heartsH3824 are not deceivedH6601, and that you do not turnH5493 awayH5493 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipH7812 them. 17Or 14the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 15shutH6113 up the heavensH8064 16so that there will be noH3808 rainH4306 and the groundH127 will not yieldH5414 its fruitH2981; and 17you will perishH6 quicklyH4120 from the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 is givingH5414 you.

18“18You shall therefore 19impressH7760 theseH428 wordsH1697 of mine on your heartH3824 and on your soulH5315; and you shall bindH7194 them as a signH226 on your handH3027, and they shall be as 20frontalsH2903 21on your foreheadH996H5869. 1922You shall teachH3925 them to your sonsH1121, talkingH1696 of them when you sitH3427 in your houseH1004 and when you walkH1980 along the roadH1870 and when you lieH7901 downH7901 and when you riseH6965 up. 2023You shall writeH3789 them on the doorpostsH4201 of your houseH1004 and on your gatesH8179, 21soH4616 that 24your daysH3117 and the daysH3117 of your sonsH1121 may be multipliedH7235 on the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, as 2526longH3117 as the heavensH8064 remain aboveH5921 the earthH776. 22For ifH518 you are 27carefulH8104 to keepH8104 allH3605 thisH2088 commandmentH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you to doH6213, 28to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and 29holdH1692 fastH1692 to Him, 23then the LordH3068 will 30driveH3423 out allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 from beforeH4480H6440 you, and you will 31dispossessH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you. 2432EveryH3605 placeH4725 on whichH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 treadsH1869 shall be yours; 33your borderH1366 will be from the wildernessH4057 to LebanonH3844, and from the riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, as farH5704 as 34the westernH314 seaH3220. 2535NoH3808 manH376 will be able to standH3320 beforeH6440 you; the LordH3068 your GodH430 will layH5414 the dreadH6343 of you and the fearH4172 of you on allH3605 the landH776 on whichH834 you setH1869 footH1869, as He has spokenH1696 to you.

26“36SeeH7200, I am settingH5414 beforeH6440 you todayH3117 a blessingH1293 and a curseH7045: 27the 37blessingH1293, ifH834 you listenH8085 to the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117; 28and the 38curseH7045, ifH518 you do not listenH8085 to the commandmentsH4687 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, but turnH5493 asideH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you todayH3117, 39by followingH1980H310 otherH312 godsH430 whichH834 you have not knownH3045.
