Chapter 4
32
For please ask about the former days that were before you, from the day God created man on the earth and from one end of the heavens to the other—has anything like this great thing ever been, or has anything like it ever been heard?
33
Has a people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it—and lived?
34
Or has God ever tried to come to take for himself a nation from the midst of a nation with miracles, with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terrors, as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35
You have caused them to see, to know that the LORD, he is the God; there is none still apart from him.
36
From heaven he let you hear his voice to discipline you, and on earth he let you see his great Fire, and you heard his words from the midst of the Fire.
37
And because he loved your fathers, he chose their offspring after them and brought you out with his great power from Egypt, right before his face.
38
to dispossess nations greater and mightier than you from before you, to bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as on this day.
39
Know this today and take it to heart: the LORD is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. There is no other.
40
Keep his statutes and his commandments, which I am commanding you today, so that it will be well for you and for your sons after you, and so that you will lengthen your days on the ground that the LORD your God is giving you all the days.
