So you shall keep My statutes and My judgments, which, if a person follows them, then he will live by them; I am the Lord.

But as for you, you are to keep My statutes and My judgments, and you shall not do any of these abominations, neither the native, nor the stranger who resides among you

‘You shall therefore follow My statutes and keep My judgments so as to carry them out, so that you may live securely on the land.

The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.
