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 that I am giving 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, and do not worship other gods you do not know.
29. When the Lord your God brings you into the land you will take as your own, you are to announce the blessings from Mount Gerizim and the curses from Mount Ebal.
30. (These mountains are on the other side of the Jordan River, to the west, toward the sunset. They are near the great trees of Moreh in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Jordan Valley opposite Gilgal.)
31. You will soon cross the Jordan River to enter and take the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you take it over and live there,
32. be careful to obey all the commands and laws I am giving you today.
