29. But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.
30. When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the Lord your God and listen to His voice.
31. For the Lord your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.
32. "Indeed, ask now concerning the former days which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and inquire from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it?
33. Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived?
34. Or has a god tried to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation by trials, by signs and wonders and by war and by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm and by great terrors, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35. To you it was shown that you might know that the Lord, He is God; there is no other besides Him.
36. Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice to discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire.
37. Because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their descendants after them. And He personally brought you from Egypt by His great power,
38. driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is today.
