Deuteronomy 4:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ “I taught you the laws and rules that the Lord my God commanded me. I did this so you could obey them in the land you are ready to enter and take for your own. ⁶ Obey these laws carefully. This will show the people of the other nations that you are wise and sensible. They will hear about these laws and say, ‘Truly, the people of this great nation are wise and sensible.’

⁷ “The Lord our God is near when we ask him to help us. No other nation has a god like that!
