midst of the fire:
16
Lest ye corrupt
yourselves,
and make you a graven image, the similitude of any
figure, the likeness of male or female,
17
The likeness of any beast that
is
on the earth, the likeness
of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,
18
The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground,
the likeness of any fish that
is
in the waters beneath the earth:
19
And lest thou lift up thine eyes
unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars,
even
all the host of heaven,
shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the L
ORD
thy God hath divided unto
all nations under the whole heaven.
20
But the L
ORD
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
ye are
this day.
21
Furthermore the L
ORD
was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over
Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the L
ORD
thy God giveth thee
for
an
inheritance:
22
But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and
possess that good land.
23
Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the L
ORD
your
God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image,
or
the likeness of any
thing,
which
the L
ORD
thy God hath forbidden thee.
24
For the L
ORD
thy God
is
a consuming fire,
even
a jealous
God.
25
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 any
thing,
and
shall do evil in the sight of the L
ORD
thy God, to provoke him to anger:
26
I call heaven and earth
to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go
over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong
your
days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27
And the L
ORD
shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the
heathen, whither the L
ORD
shall lead you.
28
And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands,
wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29
But if from thence thou shalt
seek the L
ORD
thy God, thou shalt find
him,
if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee,
even
in the latter days, if
thou turn to the L
ORD
thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
31
(For the L
ORD
thy God
is
a
merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
which he sware unto them.
32
For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since
the day that God created man upon the earth, and
ask
from the one side of heaven unto the other,
whether there hath been
any such thing
as this great thing
is,
or hath been heard like it?
33
Did
ever
people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
34
Or hath God assayed to go
and
take him a nation from the midst of another
nation,
by temptations,
by signs, and 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 L
ORD
your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35
Unto
thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the L
ORD
he
is
God;
there is
none else beside him.
36
Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he
shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.
37
And because
he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with
