22. Be careful to obey every command I am giving you to follow. Love the Lord your God. Do what he has told you to do. And be loyal to him.
23. Then the Lord will force all those nations out of the land ahead of you. And you will take the land from nations that are bigger and stronger than you.
24. Everywhere you step will be yours. Your land will go from the desert to Lebanon. And it will go from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25. No one will be able to stop you. The Lord your God will do what he promised. He will make the people afraid everywhere you go.
26. See, today I am letting you choose a blessing or a curse.
27. You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God. I am giving them to you today.
28. But you will be cursed if you disobey the commands of the Lord your God. So do not disobey the commands I am giving you today. Do not worship other gods you do not know.
29. The Lord your God will bring you into the land you will own. Then you are to announce the blessings from Mount Gerizim. Announce the curses from Mount Ebal.
