Amplified Bible
Deuteronomy 30:11-20
11“For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it out of reach.
12It is not [a secret hidden] in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will go up to heaven for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’
13Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross the sea for us and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’
14But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
15“Listen closely, I have set before you today life and prosperity (good), and death and adversity (evil);
16in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk [that is, to live each and every day] in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments (precepts), so that you will live and multiply, and that the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are entering to possess.
17But if your heart turns away and you will not hear and obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them,
18I declare to you today that you will certainly perish. You will not live long in the land which you cross the Jordan to enter and possess.
19I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse; therefore, you shall choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
20by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding closely to Him; for He is your life [your good life, your abundant life, your fulfillment] and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord promised (swore) to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
