You must not tremble in their presence, for the <sc>Lordsc> your God, who is present among you, is a great and awesome God.

The rest of the people will hear and become afraid to keep doing such evil among you.

Indeed, he may live among you in any place he chooses, in whichever of your villages<n id="1" /> he prefers; you must not oppress him.p>

The foreigners<n id="1" /> who reside among you will become higher and higher over you and you will become lower and lower.

for the <sc>Lordsc> your God, who is present among you, is a jealous God and his anger will erupt against you and remove you from the land.<n id="1" />p>

Suppose a prophet or one who foretells by dreams<n id="1" /> should appear among you and show you a sign or wonder,<n id="2" />

Thus all Israel will hear and be afraid; no longer will they continue to do evil like this among you.<n id="1" />p>

You must investigate thoroughly and inquire carefully. If it is indeed true that such a disgraceful thing is being done among you,<n id="1" />

You will celebrate all the good things that the <sc>Lordsc> your God has given you and your family,<n id="1" /> along with the Levites and the resident foreigners among you.p>

You shall rejoice before him<n id="1" /> &#8211; you, your son, your daughter, your male and female slaves, the Levites in your villages,<n id="2" /> the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows among you &#8211; in the place where the <sc>Lordsc> chooses to locate his name.

Suppose a man or woman is discovered among you &#8211; in one of your villages<n id="1" /> that the <sc>Lordsc> your God is giving you &#8211; who sins before the Lord your God<n id="2" /> and breaks his covenant
