12. And now, O Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you? Only that you fear the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul,
13. and that you keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I am instructing to you this day, so that it may be well with you.
14. Lo, heaven belongs to the Lord your God, and the heaven of heaven, and the earth, and all the things that are within these.
15. Now the Lord was closely joined to your fathers, and he loved them, and he chose their offspring after them, that is, you yourselves, out of all the nations, just as is being proven today.
16. Therefore, circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and no longer stiffen your neck.
17. For the Lord your God himself is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a God great and powerful and terrible, who favors no person and accepts no bribe.
18. He accomplishes judgment for the orphan and the widow. He loves the sojourner, and he gives him food as well as clothing.
19. Therefore, you also should love sojourners, for you also were new arrivals in the land of Egypt.
20. You shall fear the Lord your God, and him alone shall you serve. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.
21. He is your praise and your God. He has done for you these great and terrible things, which your eyes have seen.
