⁴ Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.^{[a](A) 5} Love^(B) the Lord your God with all your heart^(C) and with all your soul and with all your strength.^{(D) 6} These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts.^{(E) 7} Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.^{(F) 8} Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.^{(G) 9} Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.^(H)

¹⁰ When the Lord your God brings you into the land he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, to give you—a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build,^{(I) 11} houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig,^(J) and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,^{(K) 12} be careful that you do not forget^(L) the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

¹³ Fear the Lord^(M) your God, serve him only^(N) and take your oaths^(O) in his name.^{(P) 14} Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you; ¹⁵ for the Lord your God^(Q), who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land. ¹⁶ Do not put the Lord your God to the test^(R) as you did at Massah. ¹⁷ Be sure to keep^(S) the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.^{(T) 18} Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight,^(U) so that it may go well^(V) with you and you may go in and take over the good land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors, ¹⁹ thrusting out all your enemies^(W) before you, as the Lord said.

Do Not Forget the Lord

8 Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live^(A) and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors.^{(B) 2} Remember how the Lord your God led^(C) you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test^(D) you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands. ³ He humbled^(E) you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna,^(F) which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach^(G) you that man does not live on bread^(H) alone but on every word that comes from the mouth^(I) of the Lord.^{(J) 4} Your clothes did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.^{(K) 5} Know then in your heart that as a man disciplines his son, so the Lord your God disciplines you.^(L)
