Caution Against Disobedience
10 “So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He1 swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities awhich you did not build,
11 houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant—awhen you have eaten and are full—
12 then beware, lest you forget the aLord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 You shall afear the Lord your God and serve Him, and bshall take oaths in His name.
14 You shall not go after other gods, athe gods of the peoples who are all around you
15 (for athe Lord your God is a jealous God bamong you), lest the anger of the Lord your God be aroused against you and destroy you from the face of the earth.
16 a“You shall not1 tempt the Lord your God bas you tempted Him in Massah.
17 You shall adiligently keep the commandments of the Lord your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.
18 And you ashall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which the Lord swore to your fathers,
19 ato cast out all your enemies from before you, as the Lord has spoken.
20 a“When your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is the meaning of the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which the Lord our God has commanded you?’
