Fear the Lord

¹² And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you^(A) but to fear^(B) the Lord your God, to walk^(C) in obedience to him, to love him,^(D) to serve the Lord^(E) your God with all your heart^(F) and with all your soul,^{(G) 13} and to observe the Lord’s commands^(H) and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?^(I)

²⁹ Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me^(A) and keep all my commands^(B) always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!^(C)

⁶ Observe the commands of the Lord your God, walking in obedience to him^(A) and revering him.^(B)

²⁴ The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God,^(A) so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today.^(B)

⁴ It is the Lord your God you must follow,^(A) and him you must revere.^(B) Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast^(C) to him.

² so that you, your children and their children after them may fear^(A) the Lord your God as long as you live^(B) by keeping all his decrees and commands^(C) that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life.^(D)

¹⁰ Remember the day you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb,^(A) when he said to me, “Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn^(B) to revere^(C) me as long as they live in the land^(D) and may teach^(E) them to their children.”

¹⁹ It is to be with him, and he is to read it all the days of his life^(A) so that he may learn to revere the Lord his God and follow carefully all the words of this law and these decrees^(B)
