⁶ Observe^(A) them carefully, for this will show your wisdom^(B) and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”^{(C) 7} What other nation is so great^(D) as to have their gods near^(E) them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him? ⁸ And what other nation is so great as to have such righteous decrees and laws^(F) as this body of laws I am setting before you today?

³³ Has any other people heard the voice of God^[a] speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived?^{(A) 34} Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation,^(B) by testings,^(C) by signs^(D) and wonders,^(E) by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm,^(F) or by great and awesome deeds,^(G) like all the things the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?

³⁵ You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord is God; besides him there is no other.^{(H) 36} From heaven he made you hear his voice^(I) to discipline^(J) you. On earth he showed you his great fire, and you heard his words from out of the fire. ³⁷ Because he loved^(K) your ancestors and chose their descendants after them, he brought you out of Egypt by his Presence and his great strength,^{(L) 38} to drive out before you nations greater and stronger than you and to bring you into their land to give it to you for your inheritance,^(M) as it is today.
