9 (A)Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper[a] in all that you do.
10 “You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God: the heads of your tribes,[b] your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones, your wives, and the (B)sojourner who is in your camp, from (C)the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, 12 so that you may enter into the (D)sworn covenant of the Lord your God, which the Lord your God is making with you today, 13 that he may (E)establish you today as his people, and that (F)he may be your God, as he promised you, and (G)as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. 14 It is not with you alone (H)that I am making this sworn covenant, 15 but with whoever is standing here with us today before the Lord our God, (I)and with whoever is not here with us today.
