And the covenant that I have made with you, ye shall not

36 You shall obey me, the Lord, who brought you out of Egypt with great power and strength; you are to bow down to me and offer sacrifices to me.

37 You shall always obey the laws and commands that I wrote for you. You shall not obey other gods,

38 and you shall not forget the covenant I made with you.

39 You shall obey me, the Lord your God, and I will rescue you from your enemies."

40 But those people would not listen, and they continued to follow their old customs.
