* Now therefore hearken , O Israel , unto the statutes and unto the judgments , which I teach you , for to do them , that ye may live , and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you . * Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you , neither shall ye diminish ought from it , that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you . * Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baalpeor : for all the men that followed Baalpeor , the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you . * But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day . * Behold , I have taught you statutes and judgments , even as the LORD my God commanded me , that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it . * Keep therefore and do them ; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations , which shall hear all these statutes , and say , Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people . * For what nation is there so great , who hath God so nigh unto them , as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for ? * And what nation is there so great , that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law , which I set before you this day ?
