11:16 Make sure you do not turn away to serve and worship other gods! 1  11:17 Then the anger of the Lord will erupt 2  against you and he will close up the sky 3  so that it does not rain. The land will not yield its produce, and you will soon be removed 4  from the good land that the Lord 5  is about to give you.
