Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse

Deuteronomy 11:26 In-Context

24 Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours. Your territory shall be from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea.
25 No one shall be able to stand against you. The LORD your God will lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread, as he promised you.
26 "See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse:
27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today,
28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.
