Deuteronomy 4:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess:

⁶ And you shall observe, and fulfill them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation.

⁷ Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
