25. No one will be able to stop you. As the Lord your God promised, he will make people terrified of you wherever you go in this land.
26. Today I’m giving you the choice of a blessing or a curse.
27. You’ll be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I’m giving you today.
28. You’ll be cursed if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God, if you turn from the way I’m commanding you to live today, and if you worship other gods you never knew.
29. When the Lord your God brings you into the land you’re about to enter, recite the blessing from Mount Gerizim and the curse from Mount Ebal.
30. (These mountains are on the west side of the Jordan, beyond the road that goes west, in the region of the Canaanites who live on the plains facing Gilgal, next to the oak trees of Moreh.)
31. You’re about to cross the Jordan River to enter and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and live there,
32. be careful to obey all the laws and rules I’m giving you today.
