Deuteronomy 30:11-20

11“This command that I give you today is certainly not too difficult or beyond your reach.

12It is not in heaven so that you have to ask, ‘Who will go up to heaven, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’

13And it is not across the sea so that you have to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea, get it for us, and proclaim it to us so that we may follow it?’

14But the message is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may follow it.

15See, today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and adversity.

16For I am commanding you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commands, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and multiply, and the Lord your God may bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

17But if your heart turns away and you do not listen and you are led astray to bow in worship to other gods and serve them,

18I tell you today that you will certainly perish and will not prolong your days in the land you are entering to possess across the Jordan.

19I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,

20love the Lord your God, obey him, and remain faithful to him. For he is your life, and he will prolong your days as you live in the land the Lord swore to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
