1. The Lord said, “Do not make idols or set up statues, stone pillars, or carved stones to worship. I am the Lord your God.
2. Keep the religious festivals and honour the place where I am worshipped. I am the Lord.
3. “If you live according to my laws and obey my commands,
4. I will send you rain at the right time, so that the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit.
5. Your crops will be so plentiful that you will still be harvesting corn when it is time to pick grapes, and you will still be picking grapes when it is time to sow corn. You will have all that you want to eat, and you will live in safety in your land.
6. “I will give you peace in your land, and you will sleep without being afraid of anyone. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in the land, and there will be no more war there.
