Deuteronomy 30:11-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:

¹² Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfill it in work?

¹³ Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded?

¹⁴ But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.
