Deuteronomy 30:17
Compare all
15 “See, aI have set before you today life and good, death and evil,  
16 in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess.
17 But if your heart turns away so that you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them,
18 aI announce to you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to go in and possess.  
19 aI call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that bI have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;  
20 that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your alife and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

Deuteronomy 30:15-20

DEATH AND LIFE ARE SET BEFORE THE ISRAELITES. (Deuteronomy 30:15-20)

See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil—the alternative of a good and happy, or a disobedient and miserable life. Love of God and compliance with His will are the only ways of securing the blessings and avoiding the evils described. The choice was left to them, and in urging upon them the inducements to a wise choice, Moses warmed as he proceeded into a tone of solemn and impressive earnestness similar to that of Paul to the elders of Ephesus (Acts 20:26-27).
