Leviticus 26:4-6
New English Translation
4 I will give you your rains in their time so that[a] the land will give its yield and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.[b] 5 Threshing season will extend for you until the season for harvesting grapes,[c] and the season for harvesting grapes will extend until sowing season, so[d] you will eat your bread until you are satisfied,[e] and you will live securely in your land. 6 I will grant peace in the land so that[f] you will lie down to sleep without anyone terrifying you.[g] I will remove harmful animals[h] from the land, and no sword of war[i] will pass through your land.
