Deuteronomy 11:13-28

13Now, if you pay close attention to my commandments that I am giving you today and love the Lord your God and serve him with all your mind and being,

14then he promises, “I will send rain for your land in its season, the autumn and the spring rains, so that you may gather in your grain, new wine, and olive oil.

15I will provide pasture for your livestock and you will eat your fill.”

16Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods!

17Then the anger of the Lord will erupt against you and he will close up the sky so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed from the good land that the Lord is about to give you.

18Fix these words of mine into your mind and being, and tie them as a reminder on your hands and let them be symbols on your forehead.

19Teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house, as you walk along the road, as you lie down, and as you get up.

20Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates

21so that your days and those of your descendants may be extended in the land which the Lord promised to give to your ancestors, like the days of heaven itself.

22For if you carefully observe all of these commandments I am giving you and love the Lord your God, live according to his standards, and remain loyal to him,

23then he will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.

24Every place you set your foot will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates) as far as the Mediterranean Sea.

25Nobody will be able to resist you; the Lord your God will spread the fear and terror of you over the whole land on which you walk, just as he promised you.

26Take note – I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

27the blessing if you take to heart the commandments of the Lord your God that I am giving you today,

28and the curse if you pay no attention to his commandments and turn from the way I am setting before you today to pursue other gods you have not known.
