¹⁸ “Imprint these words of mine on your hearts and minds, bind them as a sign on your hands, and let them be a symbol^[a] on your foreheads.^{[b] 19} Teach them to your children,^(A) talking about them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. ²⁰ Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,^{(B) 21} so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your fathers.^{(C) 22} For if you carefully observe every one of these commands I am giving you to follow—to love the Lord your God, walk in all His ways, and remain faithful^[c] to Him— ²³ the Lord will drive out all these nations before you, and you will drive out nations greater and stronger than you are.
