⁵ Thou shalt also consider in thine heart that as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee.

⁶ Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

¹¹ And the Lord said unto me, ‘Arise, take thy journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.’

¹² “And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

¹³ to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command thee this day for thy good?

¹⁴ Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the Lord’S thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

¹⁵ Only the Lord had a delight in thy fathers to love them; and He chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

¹⁶ Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.

²⁶ “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ a blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you this day;

²⁸ and a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.
