Deuteronomy 11:26 In-Context

24 Every place you walk on will belong to you. Your territory will go all the way from the desert to Lebanon. It will go from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.

25 No man will be able to stand up against you. The LORD your God will throw the whole land into a panic because of you. He'll do it everywhere you go, just as he promised you.

26 Listen to me. I'm setting a blessing and a curse in front of you today.

27 I'm giving you the commands of the LORD your God today. You will be blessed if you obey them.

28 But you will be cursed if you don't obey them. So don't turn away from the path I'm now commanding you to take. Don't worship other gods. You haven't known anything about them before.
