18 [b]And the Lord hath set thee up this day, to be a (A)precious people unto him (as he hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments.

19 And to make thee (B)high above all nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, (C)and that thou shouldest be an holy people unto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.
