16
Therefore, change your hearts and stop being stubborn.
17
“For the LORD your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed.
18
He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing.
19
So you, too, must show love to foreigners, for you yourselves were once foreigners in the land of Egypt.
20
You must fear the LORD your God and worship him and cling to him. Your oaths must be in his name alone.
21
He alone is your God, the only one who is worthy of your praise, the one who has done these mighty miracles that you have seen with your own eyes.
22
When your ancestors went down into Egypt, there were only seventy of them. But now the LORD your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky!
