1 Therefore you will love the LORD your God , and keep his charge , and his statutes , and his judgments , and his commandments , always  2 And know you this day : for [I speak] not with your children which have not known , and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God , his greatness , his mighty hand , and his stretched out arm  3 And his miracles , and his acts , which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt , and to all his land  4 And what he did to the army of Egypt , to their horses , and to their chariots ; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD has destroyed them to this day  5 And what he did to you in the wilderness , until you came into this place  6 And what he did to Dathan and Abiram , the sons of Eliab , the son of Reuben : how the earth opened her mouth , and swallowed them up , and their households , and their tents , and all the wealth that [was] in their possession , in the midst of all Israel  7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did  8 Therefore will you keep all the commandments which I command you this day , that you may be strong , and go in and possess the land , where you go to possess  9 And that you may prolong [your] days in the land , which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed , a land that flows with milk and honey  10 For the land , where you go in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt , from where you came out , where you sowed2232> your seed , and watered8248> [it] with your foot , as a garden of herbs  11 But the land , where you go to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys , [and] drinks water of the rain of heaven  12 A land which the LORD your God cares for : the eyes of the LORD your God [are] always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year  13 And it will come to pass, if you will listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day , to love the LORD your God , and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul  14 That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season , the first rain and the latter rain , that you may gather in your corn , and your wine , and your oil  15 And I will send grass in your fields for your cattle , that you may eat and be full  16 Take care to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived , and you turn aside , and serve other gods , and worship  17 And [then] the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven , that there be no rain , and that the land produce not her fruit ; and [unless] you perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD gives  18 Therefore will you store these my words in your heart and in your soul , and bind them for a sign on your hand , that they may be as frontlets between your eyes  19 And you will teach them your children , speaking of them when you sit in your house , and when you walk by the way , when you lies down, and when you rise up  20 And you will write them on the door posts of your house , and on your gates  21 That your days may be multiplied , and the days of your children , in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven on the earth  22 For if you will diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God , to walk in all his ways , and to cleave  23 Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and you will possess greater nations and mightier  24 Every place on which the soles of your feet will tread will be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon , from the river , the river Euphrates , even to the uttermost sea will your coast  25 There will no man be able to stand before you: [for] the LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you will tread upon, as he has said  26 See , I set before you this day a blessing and a curse  27 A blessing , if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God , which I command you this day  28 And a curse , if you will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God , but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day , to go after other gods , which you have not known  29 And it will come to pass, when the LORD your God has brought you in to the land where you go to possess it, that you will put the blessing on mount Gerizim , and the curse on mount Ebal  30 [Are] they not on the other side Jordan , by the way where the sun goes down , in the land of the Canaanites , which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal , beside the plains of Moreh  31 For you will pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God gives you, and you will possess it, and dwell  32 And you will observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day
