New English Translation
15 I will provide pasture[a] for your livestock and you will eat your fill.”
Exhortation to Instruction and Obedience
16 Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods![b] 17 Then the anger of the Lord will erupt[c] against you, and he will close up the sky[d] so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed[e] from the good land that the Lord[f] is about to give you.
