9 If you obey all the commands in this agreement, you will continue to succeed in everything you do.
10 “Today all of you are standing here before the Lord your God. Your leaders, your officials, your elders, and all the other men are here.
11 Your wives and children are here and also the foreigners living among you—the people who cut your wood and bring you water.
12 You are all here to enter into an agreement with the Lord your God. The Lord your God is making this agreement with you today.
13 With this agreement he is making you his own special people, and he himself will become your God. He told you this. He promised this to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 The Lord is making this agreement with its promises with you people, but not only with you.
15 Yes, he is making this agreement with all of you who stand here with us today before the Lord our God. But this agreement is also for our descendants who are not here with us today.
