Deuteronomy 30:16

14 But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

15 See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster.

For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.

17 But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,

18 I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
