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
