4. I will give you rain at the proper time, the land will produce its yield, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.
5. Your threshing season will last until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will last until planting time. You will eat your fill of food and live securely in your land.
6. I will grant peace in the land so that you can lie down without anyone frightening you. I will remove dangerous animals from the land, and no sword will pass through it.
