5 But thus shall ye deal with them: ye shall destroy their altars and break down their images and cut down their groves and burn their graven images in the fire.
6 For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; the Lord thy God has chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, different from all the peoples that are upon the face of the earth.
7 Not because ye were more than the other peoples has the Lord desired you and chosen you; for ye were the fewest of all the peoples;
8 but because the Lord loved you and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, has the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand and ransomed you out of the house of slavery from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
9 Know, therefore, that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with those that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations
10 and repays him that hates him to his face, to destroy him; he will not be slack to him that hates him; he will repay him to his face.
11 Keep, therefore, the commandments and statutes and rights, which I command thee this day, to do them.
