and his statutes and his judgments,
that thou mayest live and multiply:
and the Lord thy God shall bless thee
in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

and worship other gods,
and serve them;

that ye shall surely perish,
and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land,
whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

therefore choose life,
that both thou and thy seed may live:

lest any man should boast.
