Context of Deuteronomy 11:27
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? The 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.
