1Hear now, O Israel, the statutes and ordinances I am teaching you to follow, so that you may live and may enter and take possession of the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you.
“Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes, and unto the judgments which I teach you for to do them, that ye may live, and go in, and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you.”
“Now therefore, hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and to the judgments which I teach you. To do them that ye may live and go in and possess the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given to you.”
2You must not add to or subtract from what I command you, so that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you.
“ye shall not add unto the word which I commanded, neither shall ye diminish from it that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”
“shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you.”
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you.”
“Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”
“shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish anything from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.”
“You shall not add to the word that I command you nor take from it that you may keep the command of the Lord your God that I command you.”
3Your eyes have seen what the LORD did at Baal-peor, for the LORD your God destroyed from among you all who followed Baal of Peor.
“Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal Peor. For all the men that followed Baal Peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.”
“Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal -peor. For all the men that followed Baal -peor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.”
4But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive to this day, every one of you.
“But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.”
“But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive, every one of you, this day.”
5See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances just as the LORD my God has commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the Lord my God commanded me that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it.”
“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.”
“Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.”
“Behold I have taught you statutes and judgments even as the Lord my God commanded me Commanded me that ye should do so in the land whether you go to possess it.”
6Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding in the sight of the peoples, who will hear of all these statutes and say, "Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people."
“Keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statues and say, surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
“Keep, therefore, and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
“Keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations. That's interesting. Which shall hear all these statutes and say, surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
“keep therefore and do them, for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes and say, Surely this nation is a wise and understanding people.”
“Keep therefore and do them for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations. Which shall hear all these statutes and say surely this great nation is a wise and understanding People”
“So keep and do them for that is your wisdom and your understanding. Now, look at this in the sight of the peoples. Who will hear all these statutes and say, surely this great nation is wise and understanding people,”
7For what nation is great enough to have a god as near to them as the LORD our God is to us whenever we call on Him?
“for what great nation is there that has a God so near to it, as is the Lord, our God, whenever we call on him”
“For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon him for?”
“For what nation is there so great who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is in all things that we call upon Him for?”

“For what nation is there so great who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God in all things that we call upon Him?”
“for what nation is there so great? Who hath God so nigh unto them as the Lord our God is and all things that we can call upon him for.”
8And what nation is great enough to have righteous statutes and ordinances like this entire law I set before you today?
“or what great nation is there that has statutes and judgments as righteous as this whole law, which I am setting before you today,”
“And what nation is there so great that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this day?”
“And what nation is there so great, that hath statues and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this day?”

9Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen, and so that they do not slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.
“Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life. But teach them thy sons and thy sons' sons.”
“only give heed to yourself and keep your soul diligently so that you do not forget the things which your eyes have seen and they do not depart from your heart all the days of your life, but make them known to your sons and your…”

10The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, "Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children."
“especially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall…”
“specially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall…”

“Especially the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in horror. When the Lord said unto me, gather me the people together. And I will make them hear my words. And they will learn to fear me all the days that they shall…”
11You came near and stood at the base of the mountain, a mountain blazing with fire to the heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness.
“And ye came near and stood under the mountain, and behold, and the mountain burned with fire under the midst of heaven with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.”
“And he came near and stood under the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, and darkness and clouds and thick darkness,”
12And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words, but saw no form; there was only a voice.
“And the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire, and ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude, only heard a voice.".”
“and the Lord spake unto you out of the midst of the fire. Now listen, ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude, only you heard a voice.”
13He declared to you His covenant, which He commanded you to follow—the Ten Commandments that He wrote on two tablets of stone.

15So since you saw no form of any kind on the day the LORD spoke to you out of the fire at Horeb, be careful
“Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves, for you saw no manner of similitude on the day that the Lord spake unto you in Horeb, in the midst of the fire,”
16that you do not act corruptly and make an idol for yourselves of any form or shape, whether in the likeness of a male or female,
“corrupt yourselves and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of any male or female,”
17of any beast that is on the earth or bird that flies in the air,
“the likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flies in the air,”
18or of any creature that crawls on the ground or fish that is in the waters below.
“the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.”
19When you look to the heavens and see the sun and moon and stars—all the host of heaven—do not be enticed to bow down and worship what the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

20Yet the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be the people of His inheritance, as you are today.
“The Lord hath taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace even out of Egypt to be unto him a people of inheritance as you are this day.”
21The LORD, however, was angry with me on account of you, and He swore that I would not cross the Jordan to enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
“Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swear that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
“Furthermore the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, and swear that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.”
“now the Lord was angry with me on your account and swore that I would not cross the Jordan and that I should not enter the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance”
22For I will not be crossing the Jordan, because I must die in this land. But you shall cross over and take possession of that good land.
“But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan, but ye shall go over and possess that good land.”
“for I shall die in this land. I shall not cross the Jordan but you shall cross and take possession of this good land.”
23Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you.
“Take heed unto yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord your God which He made with you, and make you a graven image or the likeness of anything which the Lord thy God hath forbidden thee.”
24For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
“for the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.”
“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
“For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.”
25After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form—doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger—
“when thou shalt beget children and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image or the likeness of anything, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord…”
26I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.
“I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you are going over Jordan to possess it. And ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be…”
27Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
“And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations and you shall be left few in number among the heathen whether the Lord shall lead you.".”
28And there you will serve man-made gods of wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.

29But if from there you will seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
“But 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.”
“But from there, you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him if you search for him with all of your heart and all of your soul.”
“But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him. If thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.”
“but F, from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God. Thou shalt find him if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.”
“But if from thence thou shall seek the lord thy god thou shalt find him. If thou shall seek with all the heart and with all thy soul.”

31For the LORD your God is a merciful God; He will not abandon you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers, which He swore to them by oath.
“For the Lord thy God is a merciful God, and He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He swore unto them.”
32Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
“For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the days that God created man upon the earth, and ask from one side of heaven unto the other, whether there have been any such thing as this great thing is, or…”
“For asked now concerning the days which are past Which were before you since the day God created man on the earth and Asked from one end of heaven to the other whether any great thing like this Has happened or anything like it…”
33Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
“Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire? As thou hast heard and lived.”
“Did any people ever hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire as you have heard and live”
“did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire as thou hast heard it, and live?”
“did ever a people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of a fire as thou hast heard and lived?”
34Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
“Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation by temptations, by signs, by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the…”
“Or hath God assayed to go and take a nation from the midst of another nation? By temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by wars, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that…”
“or did God ever try to go and take for himself a Nation from the midst of another nation. By trials by signs by wonders by war by a mighty hand by an outstretched arm by great terrors. According to all that the Lord your God did…”
35You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
“Unto thee it was showed that thou mightest know that the Lord, he is God, there is none else beside him.”
“Unto thee it was shown that thou mightest know that the Lord he is God. There is none else beside him.”
36He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.

37Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
“and because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and therefore brought he thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt,”
38to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
“to drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance as it is this day.”
39Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
“Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heaven above and upon earth beneath, there is none else.”
40Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
“So you shall keep his statutes and his commandments which I am giving you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, that you may live long on the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
