DE-4:1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and
unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye
may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of
your fathers giveth you.
DE-4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you,
neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the
commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
DE-4:3 Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor:
for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the LORD thy God hath
destroyed them from among you.
DE-4:4 But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive
every one of you this day.
DE-4:5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as
the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land
whither ye go to possess it.
DE-4:6 Keep therefore and do [them]; for this [is] your wisdom
and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall
hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is]
a wise and understanding people.
DE-4:7 For what nation [is there so] great, who [hath] God [so]
nigh unto them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we
call upon him [for]?
DE-4:8 And what nation [is there so] great, that hath statutes
and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, which I set before
you this day?
DE-4:9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently,
lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest
they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach
them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;
DE-4:10 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD
thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the
people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they
may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the
earth, and [that] they may teach their children.
DE-4:11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the
mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with
darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
DE-4:12 And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire:
ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only
[ye heard] a voice.
DE-4:13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he
commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote
them upon two tables of stone.
DE-4:14 And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you
statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land
whither ye go over to possess it.
DE-4:15 Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw
no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto
you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:
DE-4:16 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make you a graven
image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or
female,
DE-4:17 The likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the
likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
DE-4:18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that [is] in the waters beneath the
earth:
DE-4:19 And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when
thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the
host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve
them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under
the whole heaven.
DE-4:20 But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out
of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a
people of inheritance, as [ye are] this day.
DE-4:21 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes,
and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should
not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth
thee [for] an inheritance:
DE-4:22 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan:
but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.
DE-4:23 Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant
of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a
graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], which the LORD
thy God hath forbidden thee.
DE-4:24 For the LORD thy God [is] a consuming fire, [even] a
jealous God.
DE-4:25 When thou shalt beget children, and children's children,
and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt
[yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any
[thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to
provoke him to anger:
DE-4:26 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 Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days
upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
DE-4:27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye
shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD
shall lead you.
DE-4:28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands,
wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
DE-4:29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God,
thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and
with all thy soul.
DE-4:30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are
come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the
LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
DE-4:31 (For the LORD thy God [is] a merciful God;) he will not
forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of
thy fathers which he sware unto them.
DE-4:32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before
thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and
[ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there
hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath
been heard like it?
DE-4:33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of
the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
DE-4:34 Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from
the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by
wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched
out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD
your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
DE-4:35 Unto thee it was showed, that thou mightest know that
the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
DE-4:36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he
might instruct thee: and upon earth he showed thee his great
fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
DE-4:37 And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose
their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with
his mighty power out of Egypt;
DE-4:38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and
mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their
land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.
DE-4:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine
