^{26 Ref} Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

^{27 Ref} the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, which I command you this day;

^{28 Ref} and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.
