But from there you will look for the Lord your God. And you will find Him if you look for Him with all your heart and soul.

The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers, but with us, all those of us alive here today.

But I show loving-kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Laws.

But the seventh day is a Day of Rest to the Lord your God. You, your son, your daughter, your man servant, your woman servant, your bull, donkey or any of your cattle, or the traveler who stays with you, must not do any work on this day. So your man servant and woman servant may rest as well as you.

But why should we die now? For this big fire will burn us up. If we hear the voice of the Lord our God any more, we will die.

But you stand here by Me. And I will tell you all the Laws which you should teach them, so they may keep them in the land I give them for their own.'

But then be careful not to forget the Lord Who brought you from the land of Egypt, out of the land where you were held as servants.

Then say to your son, ‘We were servants of Pharaoh in Egypt. But the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand.

But do this to them: Break down their altars. Crush their objects of worship. Cut down their female goddess Asherim. And burn their false gods with fire.

But it is because the Lord loves you and is keeping the promise He made to your fathers. So the Lord brought you out by a strong hand. He set you free from the land where you were servants, and from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

But He destroys those who hate Him. He will not show kindness to the one who hates Him, but will punish him to his face.

The Lord will take all sickness from you. He will not let any bad diseases come upon you that you have known in Egypt. But He will give them to all who hate you.

But you will not be afraid of them. You will remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt.

But the Lord your God will give them to you. He will bring much trouble upon them until they are destroyed.

Do not bring a hated thing into your house. You would become hated also. But turn from it with fear and hate, for bad will come from it.

He let you be hungry which helped you to not have pride. Then He fed you with bread from heaven which you and your fathers had not known. He did this to make you understand that man does not live by bread alone. But man lives by everything that comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

But remember the Lord your God. For it is He Who is giving you power to become rich. By this He may keep His agreement which He promised to your fathers, as it is this day.

But know today that it is the Lord your God Who is crossing over before you as a fire that destroys everything. He will destroy them and bring them down before you. So you may drive them out and be quick to destroy them, just as the Lord has told you.

But after the Lord your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, ‘The Lord has brought me in to take this land because I am right and good.' It is because of the sin of these nations that the Lord is driving them out in front of you.

It is not because of your being right with God that you are going to take their land. But it is because of the sin of these nations that the Lord your God is driving them out in front of you. By this the Lord is proving that He keeps the promise He made to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
