I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over the Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live,

Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.

Hear this, all ye people; give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world,

Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth! For the LORD hath spoken: "I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me.

Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid; be ye very desolate," saith the LORD.

Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto My words nor to My law, but rejected it.

O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the LORD!
