Context
Exhortation to Covenant Obedience
30:11 “This commandment I am giving you today is not too difficult for you , nor is it too remote .
30:12 It is not in heaven , as though one must say , “Who will go up to heaven to get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”
30:13 And it is not across the sea , as though one must say , “Who will cross over to the other side of the sea and get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?”
30:14 For the thing is very near you– it is in your mouth and in your mind so that you can do it.
30:15 “Look ! I have set before you today life and prosperity on the one hand, and death and disaster on the other.
30:16 What I am commanding you today is to love the Lord your God , to walk in his ways , and to obey his commandments , his statutes , and his ordinances . Then you will live and become numerous and the Lord your God will bless you in the land which you are about to possess .
30:17 However, if you turn aside and do not obey , but are lured away to worship and serve other gods ,
30:18 I declare to you this very day that you will certainly perish ! You will not extend your time in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess .
30:19 Today I invoke heaven and earth as a witness against you that I have set life and death , blessing and curse , before you. Therefore choose life so that you and your descendants may live !
30:20 I also call on you to love the Lord your God , to obey him and be loyal to him, for he gives you life and enables you to live continually in the land the Lord promised to give to your ancestors Abraham , Isaac , and Jacob .”
