Deuteronomy 11:16-25

1612BewareH8104 that your heartsH3824 are not easilyH6601 deceivedH6601, and that you do not turnH5493 awayH5493 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH2331 them. 17Otherwise, 3the angerH639 of the LordH3068 will be kindledH2734 against you, and He will 4shutH6113 upH6113 the skyH8064 5so that there will be noH3808 rainH4306, and the groundH127 will not yieldH5414 its produceH2981; then 6you will quicklyH4120 perishH6 from the goodH2896 landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 is givingH5414 you.

18“7You shall therefore takeH7760 theseH428 wordsH1697 of mine to 8heartH3824 and to soulH5315; and you shall tieH7194 them as a signH226 on your 9handH3027, and they shall be as 10frontletsH2903 11on your foreheadH996H5869. 1912You shall also teachH3925 them to your sonsH1121, speakingH1696 of them when you sitH3427 in your houseH1004, when you walkH1980 along the roadH1870, when you lieH7901 downH7901, and when you getH6965 upH6965. 2013And you shall writeH3789 them on the doorpostsH4201 of your houseH1004 and on your gatesH8179, 21soH4616 thatH4616 14your daysH3117 and the daysH3117 of your sonsH1121 may be increasedH7235 on the landH127 whichH834 the LordH3068 sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 to giveH5414 them, as 1516longH3117 as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776. 22For ifH518 you areH8104 17carefulH8104 to keepH8104 allH3605 of thisH2088 commandmentH4687 whichH834 I am commandingH6680 you to doH6213, 18to loveH157 the LordH3068 your GodH430, to walkH1980 in allH3605 His waysH1870 and 19clingH1692 to Him, 23then the LordH3068 will 2021dispossessH3423 allH3605 theseH428 nationsH1471 from you, and you will 2223dispossessH3423 nationsH1471 greaterH1419 and mightierH6099 thanH4480 you. 2424EveryH3605 placeH4725 on whichH834 the soleH3709 of your footH7272 stepsH1869 shall be yours; 25your borderH1366 will be from the wildernessH4057 to LebanonH3844, and from the riverH5104, the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578, as farH5704 as 26the westernH314 seaH3220. 2527NoH3808 oneH376 will be able to standH3320 againstH6440 you; the LordH3068 your GodH430 will 28instillH5414 the dreadH6343 of you and the fearH4172 of you in allH3605 the landH776 on whichH834 you setH1869 footH1869, justH3512 asH3512 He has spokenH1696 to you.
