Deuteronomy 30:19 in Context — Deuteronomy 30

17 Mas si tu corazón se apartare, y no oyeres, y fueres incitado, y te inclinares á dioses ajenos, y los sirvieres;

18 Protéstoos hoy que de cierto pereceréis: no tendréis largos días sobre la tierra, para ir á la cual pasas el Jordán para poseerla.

19 A los cielos y la tierra llamo por testigos hoy contra vosotros, que os he puesto delante la vida y la muerte, la bendición y la maldición: escoge pues la vida, porque vivas tú y tu simiente:

20 Que ames á Jehová tu Dios, que oigas su voz, y te allegues á él; porque él es tu vida, y la longitud de tus días; á fin de que habites sobre la tierra que juró Jehová á tus padres Abraham, Isaac, y Jacob, que les había de dar.
