Deuteronomy 30:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.

¹⁷ But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:

¹⁸ I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.
