⁸ And unto this people thou shalt say, Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

¹⁵ See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;

²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

¹⁹ If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:

²⁰ but if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.
