For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a beloved people to himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.

That you may know therefore that the LORD your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with those that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

Wherefore if you hearken to these judgments, and keep them and do them, the LORD your God shall keep with you the covenant and the mercy which he swore to your fathers;

And you shall consume all the peoples that the LORD your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall have no pity upon them; neither shall you serve their gods; for they are a snare to you.

You shall not be afraid of them; but you shall remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;

The great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the LORD your God brought you out; so shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.

Moreover the LORD your God will send raiders among them, until they that are left and hide themselves from you, are destroyed.

You shall not be afraid of them, for the LORD your God is among you, a great and terrible God.

And the LORD your God will destroy those nations from before you little by little; you will not be able to destroy them quickly, lest the wild beasts increase upon you.

But the LORD your God shall deliver them to you, and shall smite them with a great destruction, until they are destroyed.

The graven images of their gods you shall burn with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you become unclean with it; for it is an abomination before the LORD your God.

And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, that he might humble you, and prove you, to know what is in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments or not.

You must know in your heart that, as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.

Therefore you must keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways and fear him.

For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;

You shall eat and be full, and then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

Take heed, lest you forget the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments and his judgments and his statutes, which I command you this day;

Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

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

And if you do forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them. I have testified against you this day that you shall surely perish.
