26. You have a choice—do you want the Lord to bless you, or do you want him to put a curse on you?
27. Today I am giving you his laws, and if you obey him, he will bless you.
28. But if you disobey him and worship those gods that have never done anything for you, the Lord will put a curse on you.
29. After the Lord your God helps you take the land, you must have a ceremony where you announce his blessings from Mount Gerizim and his curses from Mount Ebal.
30. You know that these two mountains are west of the River Jordan in land now controlled by the Canaanites living in the Jordan valley. The mountains are west of the road near the sacred trees of Moreh on the other side of Gilgal.
31. Soon you will cross the River Jordan to conquer the land that the Lord your God is giving you. And when you have settled there,
32. be careful to obey his laws and teachings that I am giving you today.
