Deuteronomy 11:26-32
Christian Standard Bible
A Blessing and a Curse
26 “Look, today I set before you a blessing and a curse:(A) 27 there will be a blessing, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you today, 28 and a curse, if you do not obey the commands of the Lord your God and you turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods you have not known. 29 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing at Mount Gerizim and the curse at Mount Ebal. 30 Aren’t these mountains across the Jordan, beyond the western road in the land of the Canaanites, who live in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, near the oaks[a] of Moreh? 31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession of the land the Lord your God is giving you. When you possess it and settle in it, 32 be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances I set before you today.

26 “(A)See, I am placing before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the (B)blessing, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am commanding you today; 28 and the (C)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, [a]by following other gods which you have not known.
29 “And it shall come about, when the Lord your God brings you into the land where you are entering to possess it, (D)that you shall place the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal. 30 Are they not across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, opposite (E)Gilgal, beside (F)the [b]oaks of Moreh? 31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and (G)you shall possess it and live in it, 32 and you shall be careful to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am placing before you today.
