13 If you faithfully obey the commands that I’m giving you today, love the Lord your God, and serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 I will send rain on your land at the right time, both in the fall and in the spring. Then you will gather your own grain, new wine, and olive oil.
15 I will provide grass in the fields for your animals, and you will be able to eat all you want.
16 Be careful, or you’ll be tempted to turn away and worship other gods and bow down to them.
17 The Lord will become angry with you. He’ll shut the sky so that there’ll be no rain. Then the ground won’t grow any crops, and you’ll quickly disappear from this good land the Lord is giving you.
18 Take these words of mine to heart and keep them in mind. ⌊Write them down,⌋ tie them around your wrist, and wear them as headbands as a reminder.
19 Teach them to your children, and talk about them when you’re at home or away, when you lie down or get up.
