Deuteronomy 10:12-21

English Standard Version

Circumcise Your Heart

¹²“And now, Israel, ^(A)what does the Lord your God require of you, but ^(B)to fear the Lord your God, ^(C)to walk in all his ways, ^(D)to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, ¹³and ^(E)to keep the commandments and statutes of the Lord, which I am commanding you today ^(F)for your good? ¹⁴Behold, ^(G)to the Lord your God belong heaven and the heaven of heavens, ^(H)the earth with all that is in it. ¹⁵Yet ^(I)the Lord set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. ¹⁶Circumcise therefore ^(J)the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer ^(K)stubborn. ¹⁷For the Lord your God is ^(L)God of gods and ^(M)Lord of lords, ^(N)the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is ^(O)not partial and takes no bribe. ¹⁸^(P)He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. ¹⁹^(Q)Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. ²⁰^(R)You shall fear the Lord your God. You shall serve him and ^(S)hold fast to him, and ^(T)by his name you shall swear. ²¹^(U)He is your praise. He is your God, ^(V)who has done for you these great and terrifying things that your eyes have seen.
