Bible verse
But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
Deuteronomy 11:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 11.
12 It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year.
13 So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil.
15 And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.
16 But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
17 or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
