22 “For if (A)you carefully keep all these commandments which I command you to do—to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways, and (B)to hold fast to Him— 23 then the Lord will (C)drive out all these nations from before you, and you will (D)dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. 24 (E)Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: (F)from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the [a]Western Sea, shall be your territory. 25 No man shall be able to (G)stand [b]against you; the Lord your God will put the (H)dread of you and the fear of you upon all the land where you tread, just as He has said to you.

26 (I)“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 (J)the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; 28 and the (K)curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known. 29 Now it shall be, when the Lord your God has brought you into the land which you go to possess, that you shall put the (L)blessing on Mount Gerizim and the (M)curse on Mount Ebal. 30 Are they not on the other side of the Jordan, toward the setting sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, (N)beside the terebinth trees of Moreh? 31 For you will cross over the Jordan and go in to possess the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and you will possess it and dwell in it. 32 And you shall be careful to observe all the statutes and judgments which I set before you today.

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.
