Deuteronomy 11:13–16

¹³So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, ¹⁴then I will provide^b rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil. ¹⁵And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.

¹⁶But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
