Context of Deuteronomy 11:15
13“If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, 14then he will send the rains in their proper seasons—the early and late rains—so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil. He will give you lush pastureland for your livestock, and you yourselves will have all you want to eat. 16“But be careful. Don’t let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the Lord and serve and worship other gods. 17If you do, the Lord’s anger will burn against you. He will shut up the sky and hold back the rain, and the ground will fail to produce its harvests. Then you will quickly die in that good land the Lord is giving you.
