Deuteronomy 30:19 in Context — Deuteronomy 30

17 Mas se teu coração se desviar, e não ouvires, e fores incitado, e te inclinares a deuses alheios, e os servires;

18 Declaro-vos hoje que certamente perecereis: não tereis longos dias sobre a terra, para ir à qual passas o Jordão para possuí-la.

19 Aos céus e a terra chamo por testemunhas hoje contra vós, que pus diante de vós a vida e a morte, a bênção e a maldição: escolhe, pois, a vida, para que vivas tu e tua descendência:

20 Que ames ao SENHOR teu Deus, que ouças sua voz, e te achegues a ele; porque ele é tua vida, e o comprimento de teus dias; a fim de que habites sobre a terra que jurou o SENHOR a teus pais Abraão, Isaque, e Jacó, que lhes havia de dar.
