The blessing

"Look! I have set before you today life and prosperity on the one hand, and death and disaster on the other.

Take note -- I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:

Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: "Pay attention to all the commandments I am giving you today.

Beware that the heart of no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you turns away from the Lord our God today to pursue and serve the gods of those nations; beware that there is among you no root producing poisonous and bitter fruit.

Thou shalt call

But if you seek the Lord your God from there, you will find him, if, indeed, you seek him with all your heart and soul.

When your people come to their senses in the land where they are held prisoner, they will repent and beg for your mercy in the land of their imprisonment, admitting, 'We have sinned and gone astray; we have done evil.'

Remember this, so you can be brave! Think about it, you rebels!

Because he considered and turned from all the sins he had done, he will surely live; he will not die.

But when he came to his senses he said, 'How many of my father's hired workers have food enough to spare, but here I am dying from hunger!

Whither

Look! You are driving me off the land today, and I must hide from your presence. I will be a homeless wanderer on the earth; whoever finds me will kill me."

However, I will leave some of these wicked people alive and banish them to other places. But wherever these people who survive may go, they will wish they had died rather than lived," says the Lord who rules over all.
