11 But the land you are crossing the Jordan to take possession of is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks rain from heaven.
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
11 But the land that you are going over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water by the rain from heaven,
11 But the land you are about to cross the river and take for your own is a land of mountains and valleys; it drinks water that rains from the sky.
11 but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven,
11 Rather, the land you will soon take over is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain-

Commentary on Deuteronomy 11:8-17
(Read Deuteronomy 11:8-17)
Moses sets before them, for the future, life and death, the blessing and the curse, according as they did or did not keep God's commandment. Sin tends to shorten the days of all men, and to shorten the days of a people's prosperity. God will bless them with an abundance of all good things, if they would love him and serve him. Godliness has the promise of the life that now is; but the favour of God shall put gladness into the heart, more than the increase of corn, and wine, and oil. Revolt from God to idols would certainly be their ruin. Take heed that your hearts be not deceived. All who forsake God to set their affection upon any creature, will find themselves wretchedly deceived, to their own destruction; and this will make it worse, that it was for want of taking heed.
