Deuteronomy 11:22-32

22Be careful to obey these commands that I am giving to you. Love the Lord your God. Live in a way that pleases him. Be faithful to him.

23If you do that, the Lord will chase out all those nations as you move into the land. They are greater and stronger than you are, but you will take the land from them.

24Every piece of ground that you walk on will belong to you. The borders of your land will go from the desert in the south as far as Lebanon in the north. They will go from the Euphrates river in the east to the Mediterranean Sea in the west.

25Nobody will be able to stop you. The Lord your God will cause everyone in the other nations to be afraid of you. They will shake with fear. He has promised to do that, everywhere that you go in the land.

26Today I am telling you to choose. Do you want God to bless you? Or do you want God to curse you?

27The Lord your God will bless you if you obey his commands that I am giving to you today.

28But he will curse you if you refuse to obey his commands. If you turn away from him and you serve other gods that are new to you, he will curse you!

29When the Lord brings you into the land where you will live, do this: Speak aloud God's blessings from Mount Gerizim. Speak his curses from Mount Ebal.

30You know where these mountains are. They are west of the Jordan River, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Jordan Valley. They are near Gilgal town, where the oak trees of Moreh are.

31Soon you will go across the Jordan River. You will take for yourselves the land that the Lord your God is giving to you. It will belong to you as your home.

32When you are there, be careful to obey his laws and his teaching that I am giving to you today.
