22 If you carefully observe(A) all these commands I am giving you to follow—to love(B) the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him and to hold fast(C) to him— 23 then the Lord will drive out(D) all these nations(E) before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.(F) 24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours:(G) Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River(H) to the Mediterranean Sea. 25 No one will be able to stand against you. The Lord your God, as he promised you, will put the terror(I) and fear of you on the whole land, wherever you go.(J)

26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing(K) and a curse(L) 27 the blessing(M) if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; 28 the curse if you disobey(N) the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods,(O) which you have not known. 29 When the Lord your God has brought you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim on Mount Gerizim(P) the blessings, and on Mount Ebal(Q) the curses.(R) 30 As you know, these mountains are across the Jordan, westward, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh,(S) in the territory of those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal.(T) 31 You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession(U) of the land the Lord your God is giving(V) you. When you have taken it over and are living there, 32 be sure that you obey all the decrees and laws I am setting before you today.
