Be strong(A) and courageous,(B) because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors(C) to give them.

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey(D) all the law(E) my servant Moses(F) gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left,(G) that you may be successful wherever you go.(H) Keep this Book of the Law(I) always on your lips;(J) meditate(K) on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.(L) Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;(M) do not be discouraged,(N) for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”(O)

Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper withersoever thou goest.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 32:44 Hebrew Hoshea, a variant of Joshua

44 And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
