V.1 A serious warning first, then promises of blessing for obedience. He longed to bless His people and make them happy. So He does for us today. If they would only obey Him, He would pour out rain from heaven, the land would produce plentifully, fruit trees would bloom greatly, the harvest would last till the Fall (v. 5), the vines would be so loaded that it would take till planting time to gather in the harvest!

V.11-13 God would dwell with His people.

V.14-39 But what a desolation if they would not obey! If we believers are obeying the Lord, we surely are experiencing joy and peace, yes, fullness of joy (John 15:8-11⁸Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. ⁹As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. ¹⁰If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. ¹¹These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full. (John 15:8‑11)). If we are disobeying Him, then we are unhappy, unsettled, dissatisfied, lonely, disappointed. Which are we?

V.40-46 But God always comes back to what He is.
