⁸ And unto this people thou dost say, Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am setting before you the way of life, And the way of death!

¹⁵ `See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,

¹⁹ `I have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,

²⁶ `See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:

¹⁹ If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume,

²⁰ And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, `By' the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
