27 And the Lord ^awill scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you.

28 And ^athere you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, ^bwhich neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.

29 ^aBut from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30 When you are in distress, and all these things come upon you in the ^alatter days, when you ^bturn to the Lord your God and obey His voice

31 (for the Lord your God is a merciful God), He will not forsake you nor ^adestroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He swore to them.

32 “For ^aask now concerning the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask ^bfrom one end of heaven to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard.

34 Or did God ever try to go and take for Himself a nation from the midst of another nation, ^aby trials, ^bby signs, by wonders, by war, ^cby a mighty hand and ^dan outstretched arm, ^eand by great terrors, according to all that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord Himself is God; ^athere is none other besides Him.

36 ^aOut of heaven He let you hear His voice, that He might instruct you; on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire.

37 And because ^aHe loved your fathers, therefore He chose their¹ descendants after them; and ^bHe brought you out of Egypt with His Presence, with His mighty power,

38 ^adriving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.

39 Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that ^athe Lord Himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

40 ^aYou shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that¹ it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may² prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”

Cities of Refuge East of the Jordan
