DEUTERONOMY 11:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the Lord giveth you.”
Then the LORD's anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the land will yield no produce, and you will soon perish from the good land the LORD is giving you — the reversal of blessing is explicitly tied to covenant-breaking: withheld rain becomes the instrument of curse, transforming the fertile land into famine. Disobedience results not in mere discipline but in removal from the land itself.
