If any of you are driven out to the farthest horizon, from there will the LORD your God gather you, and from there he will bring you back:

12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up into heaven for us, and get it for us, and proclaim it to us, that we may obey it?"

If you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I command you this day to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances, then you will live and multiply, and the LORD your God will bless you in the land where you are going to possess it.
17 But if your heart turn away, so that you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but shall be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

I declare to you this day that you will certainly perish; you will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
