Deuteronomy 4:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ I have taught you laws and rules as the Lord my God commanded me. You must obey them when you’ve entered the land and taken possession of it. ⁶ Faithfully obey these laws. This will show the people of the world your wisdom and insight. When they hear about all these laws, they will say, “What wise and insightful people there are in this great nation!”

⁷ What great nation ever had their gods as near to them as the Lord our God is near to us whenever we pray to him?
