Deuteronomy 11:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
