Deuteronomy 11:9-12
New American Standard Bible 1995
9 (A)so that you may prolong your days on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give to them and to their [a]descendants, (B)a land flowing with milk and honey. 10 For the land, into which you are entering to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you used to sow your seed and water it with your [b]foot like a vegetable garden. 11 But (C)the land into which you are about to cross to possess it, a land of hills and valleys, drinks water from the rain of heaven, 12 a land for which the Lord your God cares; (D)the eyes of the Lord your God are always on it, from the [c]beginning even to the end of the year.

7 “I brought you into the (A)fruitful land
To eat its fruit and its good things.
But you came and (B)defiled My land,
And My inheritance you made an abomination.
