Deuteronomy 11:21-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your fathers.

22. For if you carefully observe every one of these commands I am giving you to follow — to love the Lord your God, walk in all His ways, and remain faithful to Him —

23. the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will drive out nations greater and stronger than you are.

24. Every place the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

25. No one will be able to stand against you; the Lord your God will put fear and dread of you in all the land where you set foot, as He has promised you.

26. “Look, today I set before you a blessing and a curse:

27. there will be a blessing, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you today,

28. and a curse, if you do not obey the commands of the Lord your God and you turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods you have not known.

29. When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing at Mount Gerizim and the curse at Mount Ebal.

30. Aren’t these mountains across the Jordan, beyond the western road in the land of the Canaanites, who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?

31. For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you possess it and settle in it,

32. be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances I set before you today.
