15 Yet the Lord loved your ancestors and wanted them to belong to him. So he chose them and their descendants rather than any other nation, and today you are still his people.
16 Remember your agreement with the Lord and stop being so stubborn.
17 The Lord your God is more powerful than all other gods and lords, and his tremendous power is to be feared. His decisions are always fair, and you cannot bribe him to change his mind.
18 The Lord defends the rights of orphans and widows. He cares for foreigners and gives them food and clothing.
19 And you should also care for them, because you were foreigners in Egypt.
20 Respect the Lord your God, serve only him, and make promises in his name alone.
21 Offer your praises to him, because you have seen him work such terrifying miracles for you.
