^19 (A)I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that ^(B)I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;

²⁰ that you may love the Lord your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your ^(A)life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”

⁴⁶ and he said to them: ^(A)“Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your ^(B)children to be careful to observe—all the words of this law.

⁴⁷ For it is not a ^[a]futile thing for you, because it is your ^(A)life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess.”
