For the LORD’s anger will flare up against you, and He will shut up the skies so that there will be no rain and the ground will not yield its produce and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is assigning to you. Take care not to be lured away to serve other gods and bow to them. You shall gather in your new grain and wine and oil- I will also provide grass in the fields for your cattle-and thus you shall eat your fill. If, then, you obey the commandments that I enjoin upon you this day, loving the LORD your God and serving Him with all your heart and soul, I will grant the rain for your land in season, the early rain and the late. Bind them as a sign on your hand and let them serve as a symbol on your forehead, inscribe them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. Recite them when you stay at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you get up. Take to heart these instructions with which I charge you this day. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. The remainder of the Shema prayer is taken from three biblical sources: This verse is followed by one line of text that is traditionally recited in an undertone: Hear O’ Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One
