10. But you must obey the Lord your God. You must keep his commands and rules. They are written in this Scroll of the Law. You must turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11. What I'm commanding you today is not too hard for you. It isn't beyond your reach.
12. It isn't up in heaven. So you don't have to ask, "Who will go up into heaven to get it? Who will announce it to us so we can obey it?"
13. And it isn't beyond the ocean. So you don't have to ask, "Who will go across the ocean to get it? Who will announce it to us so we can obey it?"
14. No, the message isn't far away at all. In fact, it's really near you. It's in your mouth and in your heart so that you can obey it.
15. Today I'm giving you a choice. You can have life and success. Or you can have death and harm.
