20 Write them on your doors and gates
21 so that both you and your children will live a long time in the land the Lord promised your ancestors, as long as the skies are above the earth.
22 If you are careful to obey every command I am giving you to follow, and love the Lord your God, and do what he has told you to do, and are loyal to him,
23 then the Lord will force all those nations out of the land ahead of you, and you will take the land from nations that are bigger and stronger than you.
24 Everywhere you step will be yours. Your land will go from the desert to Lebanon and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
25 No one will be able to stop you. The Lord your God will do what he promised and will make the people afraid everywhere you go.
26 See, today I am letting you choose a blessing or a curse.
