"Indeed, inquire about the past, before you were born: since the day God created human beings on the earth, from one end of heaven to the other, has there ever been anything as wonderful as this? Has anyone heard anything like it?

Did any other people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of a fire, as you have heard, and stay alive?

Or has God ever tried to go and take for himself a nation from the very bowels of another nation, by means of ordeals, signs, wonders, war, a mighty hand, an outstretched arm and great terrors -like all that ADONAI your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

This was shown to you, so that you would know that ADONAI is God, and there is no other beside him.

Because he loved your ancestors, chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt with his presence and great power,

in order to drive out ahead of you nations greater and stronger than you, so that he could bring you in and give you their land as an inheritance, as is the case today;

know today, and establish it in your heart, that ADONAI is God in heaven above and on earth below - there is no other.

Therefore, you are to keep his laws and mitzvot which I am giving you today, so that it will go well with you and with your children after you, and so that you will prolong your days in the land ADONAI your God is giving you forever."

You foolish people, so lacking in wisdom, is this how you repay ADONAI? He is your father, who made you his! It was he who formed and prepared you!
