7. He will turn all these curses against your enemies, who hated you and oppressed you,
8. and you will again obey him and keep all his commands that I am giving you today.
9. The Lord will make you prosperous in all that you do; you will have many children and a lot of livestock, and your fields will produce abundant crops. He will be as glad to make you prosperous as he was to make your ancestors prosperous,

13. Nor is it on the other side of the ocean. You do not have to ask, ‘Who will go across the ocean and bring it to us, so that we may hear it and obey it?’

15. “Today I am giving you a choice between good and evil, between life and death.
