"Thus God has said, 'Why do you transgress the commandments
of the LORD and do not prosper?'" - 2 Chronicles 24:20b
See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and
adversity;
in that I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments
and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land
where you are entering to possess it.
"But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away
and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish. You will not prolong
your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it.
I call heaven and earth to witness
against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you
may live, you and your descendants,
by loving the LORD your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for
this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them." Deuteronomy 30:15-20

command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. "

18"The LORD has today declared you to be His people, a treasured
possession, as He promised you, and that you should keep all His commandments; 19and that He will set you high above all nations which He has made, for praise, fame, and honor; and
that you shall be a consecrated people to the LORD your God, as He has spoken."
Deuteronomy 26:18-19
He who despises the word will be destroyed,
But he who fears (respects) the commandment will be rewarded.
