Deuteronomy 30:19

Choose Between Life And Death

¹⁸ I declare to you this very day that you will certainly perish! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess. ¹⁹ Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death, blessing and curse, before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live! ²⁰ I also call on you to love the Lord your God, to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."
