11 Then the Lord said to me, ‘Get up. Continue your journey ahead of the people, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to give their fathers.’
12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you except to fear the Lord your God by walking in all His ways, to love Him, and to worship the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul?
13 Keep the Lord’s commands and statutes I am giving you today, for your own good.
14 The heavens, indeed the highest heavens, belong to the Lord your God, as does the earth and everything in it.
15 Yet the Lord was devoted to your fathers and loved them. He chose their descendants after them — He chose you out of all the peoples, as it is today.
16 Therefore, circumcise your hearts and don’t be stiff-necked any longer.
17 For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, mighty, and awesome God, showing no partiality and taking no bribe.
