‘I have set before you life and death’

The full quote Netanyahu pulled out of Deuteronomy:

“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.”

The quote is part of what is known as the admonishment, when God tells the Jews all the bad things that will happen to them if they stray.

Of course if they choose life, they get rain, and other good stuff.
