Deuteronomy 30:19 in Context — Deuteronomy 30

17 Mais si ton cœur se détourne, si tu n’obéis point, et si tu te laisses entraîner à te prosterner devant d’autres dieux et à les servir,

18 je vous déclare aujourd’hui que vous périrez, que vous ne prolongerez point vos jours dans le pays dont vous allez entrer en possession, après avoir passé le Jourdain.

19 J’en prends aujourd’hui à témoin contre vous le ciel et la terre: j’ai mis devant toi la vie et la mort, la bénédiction et la malédiction. Choisis la vie, afin que tu vives, toi et ta postérité,

20 pour aimer l’Éternel, ton Dieu, pour obéir à sa voix, et pour t’attacher à lui: car de cela dépendent ta vie et la prolongation de tes jours, et c’est ainsi que tu pourras demeurer dans le pays que l’Éternel a juré de donner à tes pères, Abraham, Isaac et Jacob.
