10 Then all peoples of the earth shall see that you are acalled by the name of the Lord, and they shall be bafraid of you.
11 And athe Lord will grant you plenty of goods, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your ground, in the land of which the Lord1 swore to your fathers to give you.
12 The Lord will open to you His good1 treasure, the heavens, ato give the rain to your land in its season, and bto bless all the work of your hand. cYou shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
13 And the Lord will make ayou the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you1 heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.
14aSo you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I command you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Is God involved? He is anything but passive, constantly participating across the full spectrum of the life of His people specifically and the whole earth generally. The Bible certainly does not show nature automatically producing great benefits merely according to natural laws.

In addition, God would be guilty of at least gross generality when He claims He does this or that.
