Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

Behold, I have set before you this day life and death, good and evil.

I call both heaven and earth to witness this day against you, I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse: choose life, that you and your seed may live;

And if you are willing, and hearken to Me, you shall eat the good of the land;

but if you be not willing, nor hearken to Me, a sword shall devour you; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken this.
