Deuteronomy 30:15-20

Choose Life

15 “See, ^aI have set before you today life and ¹prosperity, and death and ²calamity; 16 in that I am commanding you today ^ato love Yahweh your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you ^bmay live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. 17 But if your heart turns away and you will not listen, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, 18 I declare to you today that ^ayou shall surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter ¹and possess it. 19 ^aI call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, ^bthe blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your seed, 20 ^aby loving Yahweh your God, by listening to His voice, and ^bby holding fast to Him; ^cfor ¹this is your life and the length of your days, ²that you may live in ^dthe land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
