35 with whom the Lord had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying, “You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;
36 but you shall fear the Lord, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.
37 The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear other gods.
38 You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods.
39 But you shall fear the Lord your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”
40 However they didn’t listen, but they did what they did before.
41 So these nations feared the Lord, and also served their engraved images. Their children likewise, and their children’s children, as their fathers did, so they do to this day.
