Today I have given you the choice

 

between life and death,

 

between blessings and curses.

 

Now I call on heaven and earth

 

to witness the choice you make.

 

Oh, that you could choose life,

 

so that you and your descendants

 

might live!

 

You can make this choice

 

by loving the LORD your God,

 

obeying him,

 

and committing yourself firmly to him.

 

This is the key to your life…

Deuteronomy 30:19-20
