¹ Höret, ihr Kinder Israel, des HERRN Wort! denn der HERR hat Ursache, zu schelten, die im Lande wohnen; denn es ist keine Treue, keine Liebe, keine Erkenntnis Gottes im Lande;

¹¹ Auch machte er Höhen auf den Bergen in Juda und machte die zu Jerusalem abgöttisch und verführte Juda.

⁹ Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.

¹⁰ You stand this day all of you before Yahweh your God; your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,

¹¹ your little ones, your wives, and your foreigner who is in the midst of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water;

¹² that you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you this day;

¹³ that he may establish you this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to you a God, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
