Caution Against Disobedience

¹⁰ “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He ^[a]swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities ^(A)which you did not build, ¹¹ houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—^(B)when you have eaten and are full— ¹² then beware, lest you forget the ^(C)Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage. ¹³ You shall ^(D)fear the Lord your God and serve Him, and ^(E)shall take oaths in His name. ¹⁴ You shall not go after other gods, ^(F)the gods of the peoples who are all around you ¹⁵ (for ^(G)the Lord your God is a jealous God ^(H)among you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.

^16 (I)“You shall not ^[b]tempt the Lord your God ^(J)as you ^[c]tempted Him in Massah. ¹⁷ You shall ^(K)diligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you. ¹⁸ And you ^(L)shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers, ^19 (M)to cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.
