Leviticus 26:2
1 “You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.
You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
3 If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
