Deuteronomy 30:11-20 - The Choice Of Life And Death

¹¹ For this commandment which I command you today is not hidden from you, neither is it far off. ¹² It is not in Heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to Heaven, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and do it? ¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say, Who shall go over the sea for us to the region beyond the sea, and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and do it? ¹⁴ But the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it. ¹⁵ Behold! I have set before you today life and good, and death and evil, ¹⁶ in that I command you today to love Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, so that you may live and multiply. And Jehovah your God shall bless you in the land where you go to possess it. ¹⁷ But if you turn away your heart, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, ¹⁸ I declare to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days on the land where you pass over Jordan to go to possess it. ¹⁹ I call Heaven and earth to record today against you. I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your seed may live, ²⁰ so that you may love Jehovah your God, and that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him. For He is your life and the length of your days, so that you may dwell in the land which Jehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give it to them.
