Devarim 11:26 In-Context

24 Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours; from the midbar and the Levanon, from the River, the river Euphrates, even unto the Western [Mediterranean] Sea shall your border be.
25 There shall no man be able to stand before you; for Hashem Eloheichem shall lay the pachad (terror, fear) of you and the dread of you upon kol ha’aretz that ye shall tread upon, as He hath said unto you.
26 See, I set before you today a brocha and a kelalah;
27 A brocha, if ye obey the mitzvot Hashem Eloheichem, which I command you today;
28 And a kelalah, if ye will not obey the mitzvot Hashem Eloheicha, but turn aside out of HaDerech which I command you today, to go after acharei elohim, which ye have not known.
