¹⁵ “See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity.^(A)

¹⁹ I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life so that you and your descendants may live,^(A)

¹⁵ Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”^(A)

⁸ And to this people you shall say: Thus says the Lord: See, I am setting before you the way of life and the way of death.^(A)
