²⁶ See, I am setting before you today a blessing^(A) and a curse^(B)— ²⁷ the blessing^(C) if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today; ²⁸ the curse if you disobey^(D) the commands of the Lord your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods,^(E) 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^(F) the blessings, and on Mount Ebal^(G) the curses.^{(H) 30} As you know, these mountains are across the Jordan, westward, toward the setting sun, near the great trees of Moreh,^(I) in the territory of those Canaanites living in the Arabah in the vicinity of Gilgal.^{(J) 31} You are about to cross the Jordan to enter and take possession^(K) of the land the Lord your God is giving^(L) 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.
