For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God. Jehovah your God has chosen you to be His own treasure out of all the people on the face of the earth.

Because of this, know that Jehovah your God, He is God, the faithful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to those who love Him, and to those who keep His commands, to a thousand generations;

And it shall be, because you hear judgments, and keep and do them, even Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the mercy which He swore to your fathers.

And you shall destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God is giving to you. And your eye shall have no pity on them; and you shall not serve their gods; for it shall be a snare to you.

You shall not be afraid of them; remembering you shall remember that which Jehovah your God has done to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt,

the great trials which your eyes have seen, and the miracles, and the wonders and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm with which Jehovah your God has brought you out. So Jehovah your God shall do to all the peoples of whose face youare afraid.

And Jehovah your God shall send the hornets among them, until the ones who are left perish, even those who hide themselves from your face.

You shall not tremble before them, for Jehovah your God is among you, a mighty and fearful God.

And Jehovah your God will clear out those nations before you by little and little. You may not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon you.

And Jehovah your God shall deliver them up before you, and destroy them with a great destruction until they are exterminated.

And you shall remember all the way which Jehovah your God has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you, to try you, to know that which is in your heart, whether you will keep His commandments or not.

And you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, Jehovah your God disciplines you.

And you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.

For Jehovah your God brings you into a good land, a land of streams of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills,

And you shall eat and be satisfied; and you shall bless Jehovah your God in the good land which He has given you.

Take heed to yourself, lest you forget Jehovah your God so as not to keep His commandments, and His ordinances, and His statutes, which I am commanding you today;

then it rises up into your heart, and you forget Jehovah your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slaves;

But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is He who gives to you power to get wealth; that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

And it shall be, if you shall forget Jehovah your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you today that perishing you shall perish;

as the nations that Jehovah makes to perish before you, so you shall perish; because you did not listen to the voice of Jehovah your God.
