Deuteronomy 6:11-21

Common English Bible CEB

11 houses stocked with all kinds of goods that you didn't stock, cisterns that you didn't make, vineyards and olive trees that you didn't plant—and you eat and get stuffed,

12 watch yourself! Don't forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

13 Revere the LORD your God, serve him, and take your solemn pledges in his name!

14 Don't follow other gods, those gods of the people around you—

15 because the LORD your God, who is with you and among you, is a passionate God. The LORD your God's anger will burn against you, and he will wipe you off the fertile land.

16 Don't test the LORD your God the way you frustrated him at Massah.

17 You must carefully follow the LORD your God's commands along with the laws and regulations he has given you.

18 Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight so that things will go well for you and so you will enter and take possession of the wonderful land that the LORD swore to your ancestors,

19 and so the LORD will drive out all your enemies from before you, just as he promised.

20 In the future, your children will ask you, "What is the meaning of the laws, the regulations, and the case laws that the LORD our God commanded you?"

21 tell them: We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt. But the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

New International Version NIV

11 houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant—then when you eat and are satisfied,

12 be careful that you do not forget the LORD, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve him only and take your oaths in his name.

14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you;

15 for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.

16 Do not put the LORD your God to the test as you did at Massah.

17 Be sure to keep the commands of the LORD your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.

18 Do what is right and good in the LORD’s sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors,

19 thrusting out all your enemies before you, as the LORD said.

20 In the future, when your son asks you, “What is the meaning of the stipulations, decrees and laws the LORD our God has commanded you?”

21 tell him: “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
