Deuteronomy 30:18-20

International Standard Version

¹⁸ I’m declaring to you today that you will surely be destroyed. You won’t live long^[a] in the land that you are crossing the Jordan River to enter and possess. ¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to testify against you today! I’ve set life and death before you today: both blessings and curses. Choose life, that it may be well with you—you and your children. ²⁰ Love the Lord your God, obey his voice, and cling to him, because he is your life—even your long life—so that you may live in the land that the Lord promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
