13 Then all the people will hear and be afraid, and will not act (A)presumptuously again.
14 “When you enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, and you (B)possess it and live in it, and you say, ‘(C)I will set a king over me like all the nations who are around me,’ 15 you shall surely set a king over you whom the Lord your God chooses, one (D)from among your [a]countrymen you shall set as king over yourselves; you may not put a foreigner over yourselves who is not your [b]countryman.
