⁸ To this people you shall say, Thus says Yahweh: Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

¹⁵ Behold, I have set before you 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 you life and death, the blessing and the curse: therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your seed;

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

¹⁹ If you are willing and obedient, You shall eat the good of the land;

²⁰ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; For the mouth of Yahweh has spoken it."
