26 I do take as witnesses against YOU today the heavens and the earth,+ that YOU will positively perish in a hurry from off the land to which YOU are crossing the Jordan to take possession of it. YOU will not lengthen YOUR days on it, because YOU will positively be annihilated.+

19 I do take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against YOU today,+ that I have put life and death before you,+ the blessing+ and the malediction;+ and you must choose life in order that you may keep alive,+ you and your offspring,+
