Deuteronomy 30:9-14
Contemporary English Version
9 and he will bless you with many children, large herds and flocks, and abundant crops. The Lord will be happy to do good things for you, just as he did for your ancestors. 10 But you must decide once and for all to worship him with all your heart and soul and to obey everything in The Book of God's Law.
Choose Life, Not Death
Moses said to Israel:
11 You know God's laws, and it isn't impossible to obey them. 12 (A) His commands aren't in heaven, so you can't excuse yourselves by saying, “How can we obey the Lord's commands? They are in heaven, and no one can go up to get them, then bring them down and explain them to us.” 13 And you can't say, “How can we obey the Lord's commands? They are across the sea, and someone must go across, then bring them back and explain them to us.” 14 No, these commands are nearby and you know them by heart. All you have to do is obey!

Deuteronomy 30:9-14
New International Version
9 Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land.(A) The Lord will again delight(B) in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors, 10 if you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law(C) and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.(D)
The Offer of Life or Death
11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.(E) 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven(F) to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(G) 13 Nor is it beyond the sea,(H) so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”(I) 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.(J)
