For I command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that the LORD your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.

But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them,
