17. You have declared today that the lord is your God. And you have promised to walk in his ways, and to obey his decrees, commands, and regulations, and to do everything he tells you.
18. The lord has declared today that you are his people, his own special treasure, just as he promised, and that you must obey all his commands.
19. And if you do, he will set you high above all the other nations he has made. Then you will receive praise, honor, and renown. You will be a nation that is holy to the lord your God, just as he promised.”
