16 [a](A)Beware that your hearts are not easily deceived, and that you do not turn away and serve other gods, and worship them. 17 Otherwise, (B)the anger of the Lord will be kindled against you, and He will (C)shut up the sky (D)so that there will be no rain, and the ground will not yield its produce; then (E)you will quickly perish from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

18 (F)You shall therefore take these words of mine to [b]heart and to soul; and you shall tie them as a sign on your [c]hand, and they shall be as [d]frontlets [e]on your forehead.
