²⁶ I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

² Hear, heavens, And listen, earth; for Yahweh has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me.

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

²⁸ Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

⁴ He calls to the heavens above, To the earth, that he may judge his people:

¹⁹ Hear, earth: behold, I will bring evil on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not listened to my words; and as for my law, they have rejected it.

¹ > Hear this, all you peoples. Listen, all you inhabitants of the world,

¹² Be astonished, you heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be you very desolate, says Yahweh.

²⁹ O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of Yahweh.
