Deuteronomy 10:11-21

11 "Then the LORD said to me, 'Arise, proceed on your journey ahead of the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.'
12 "1Now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require from you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and 2love Him, and to serve the LORD your God with 3all your heart and with all your soul,
13 and to keep the LORD'S commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good?
14 "Behold, 4to the LORD your God belong heaven and the highest heavens, 5the earth and all that is in it.
15 "6Yet on your fathers did the LORD set His affection to love them, and He chose their descendants after them, even you above all peoples, as it is this day.
16 "7So circumcise your heart, and 8stiffen your neck no longer.
17 "9For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the 10Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God 11who does not show partiality * nor 12take a bribe.
18 "He executes justice for 13the orphan and the widow, and shows His love for the alien by giving him food and clothing.
19 "14So show your love for the alien, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.
20 "You shall fear the LORD your God; you shall serve Him and 15cling to Him, and 16you shall swear by His name.
21 "He is 17your praise and He is your God, who has done these great and awesome things for you which your eyes have seen.
