Deuteronomy 11:18-28
New American Standard Bible 1995
18 “(A)You shall therefore [a]impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as [b]frontals [c]on your forehead. 19 (B)You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up. 20 (C)You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 so that (D)your days and the days of your sons may be multiplied on the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as [d](E)long as the heavens remain above the earth. 22 For if you are (F)careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, (G)to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and (H)hold fast to Him, 23 then the Lord will (I)drive out all these nations from before you, and you will (J)dispossess nations greater and mightier than you. 24 (K)Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; (L)your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as [e]the western sea. 25 (M)No man will be able to stand before you; the Lord your God will lay the dread of you and the fear of you on all the land on which you set foot, as He has spoken to you.
26 “(N)See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the (O)blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today; 28 and the (P)curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, [f]by following other gods which you have not known.

Young's Literal Translation
18 `And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;
19 and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
20 and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,
21 so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.
22 `For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you -- to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,
23 then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;
24 every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;
25 no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.
26 `See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:
27 the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;
28 and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
