shall bless themselves."

and by keeping his commandments…then you shall live and multiply,
and the lord your God will bless you in the land which you are
entering…But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but
are drawn away to worship other gods and serve them, I declare to
you this day, that you shall perish…I have set before you life and
death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your
descendants may live…”
