Context
Exhortation to Instruction and Obedience
11:16 Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods !
11:17 Then the anger of the Lord will erupt against you and he will close up the sky so that it does not rain . The land will not yield its produce , and you will soon be removed from the good land that the Lord is about to give you.
11:18 Fix these words of mine into your mind and being , and tie them as a reminder on your hands and let them be symbols on your forehead .
11:19 Teach them to your children and speak of them as you sit in your house , as you walk along the road , as you lie down , and as you get up .
11:20 Inscribe them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates
11:21 so that your days and those of your descendants may be extended in the land which the Lord promised to give to your ancestors , like the days of heaven itself.
11:22 For if you carefully observe all of these commandments I am giving you and love the Lord your God , live according to his standards , and remain loyal to him,
11:23 then he will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.
11:24 Every place you set your foot will be yours; your border will extend from the desert to Lebanon and from the River (that is, the Euphrates ) as far as the Mediterranean Sea .
11:25 Nobody will be able to resist you; the Lord your God will spread the fear and terror of you over the whole land on which you walk , just as he promised you.
