New Testament

Deuteronomy 11:7-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

7. Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, which he has accomplished,

8. so that you would keep all his commandments, which I entrust to you this day, and so that you would be able to enter and possess the land, toward which you are advancing,

9. and so that you may live, for a long time, in the land which the Lord promised under oath to your fathers, and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10. For the land, which you shall enter and possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from which you departed, where, when seed has been sown, waters are brought in by irrigation, in the manner of gardens.

11. Rather, it has mountainous regions and plains, which lay waiting for rain from heaven.

12. And the Lord your God always visits it, and his eyes are upon it, from the beginning of the year, all the way to its end.

13. So then, if you obey my commandments, which I am instructing to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with your whole heart and your whole soul,

14. he will give to your land the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain, and your wine, and your oil,

15. and your hay from the fields in order to feed your cattle, and so that you yourselves may eat and be satisfied.
