Deuteronomy 11:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 (A)But be careful lest your heart be so lured away that you serve other gods and bow down to them.(B) 17 For then the anger of the Lord will flare up against you and he will close up the heavens, so that no rain will fall, and the soil will not yield its crops, and you will soon perish from the good land the Lord is giving you.
Need for Fidelity. 18 (C)Therefore, take these words of mine into your heart and soul. Bind them on your arm as a sign, and let them be as a pendant on your forehead.
