This is what will happen: Just as the Lord delighted to do good for you and make you numerous, he will take delight in destroying and decimating you. You will be uprooted from the land you are about to possess.

The Amorite inhabitants of that area confronted you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah.

Then the Lord will scatter you among the peoples and there will be very few of you among the nations where the Lord will drive you.

You have been rebelling against him from the very first day I knew you!

I also said to you at that time, “I am no longer able to sustain you by myself.

The Lord your God has increased your population to the point that you are now as numerous as the very stars of the sky.

So I instructed you at that time regarding everything you should do.

Be careful, therefore, to do exactly what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn right or left!

At Horeb you provoked him and he was angry enough with you to destroy you.

for the Lord your God goes with you to fight on your behalf against your enemies to give you victory.”

It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath,

The Lord will deliver them over to you and you will do to them according to the whole commandment I have given you.

Do not add a thing to what I command you nor subtract from it, so that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I am delivering to you.

Rather it is because of his love for you and his faithfulness to the promise he solemnly vowed to your ancestors that the Lord brought you out with great power, redeeming you from the place of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

For I know that after I die you will totally corrupt yourselves and turn away from the path I have commanded you to walk. Disaster will confront you in the days to come because you will act wickedly before the Lord, inciting him to anger because of your actions.”

Indeed, may the Lord, the God of your ancestors, make you a thousand times more numerous than you are now, blessing you just as he said he would!

The Lord your God is about to go ahead of you; he will fight for you, just as you saw him do in Egypt

Look! I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the Lord my God told me to do, so that you might carry them out in the land you are about to enter and possess.

And he revealed to you the covenant he has commanded you to keep, the ten commandments, writing them on two stone tablets.

Moreover, at that same time the Lord commanded me to teach you statutes and ordinances for you to keep in the land which you are about to enter and possess.
