15 “See, ^vI have set before you today life and good, death and evil. 16 ^wIf you obey the commandments of the Lord your God¹ that I command you today, by loving the Lord your God, by walking in his ways, and by keeping his commandments and his statutes and his rules,² then you shall ^xlive and multiply, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.

19 ^zI call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, 20 loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
