⁷ Only be strong and very courageous to observe diligently the whole law^[a] that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn aside from it, to the right or left, so that you may succeed wherever you go.^{[b] 8} The scroll of this law will not depart from your mouth; you will meditate on it day and night so that you may observe diligently all that is written^[c] in it. For then you will succeed in your ways and prosper. ⁹ Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not fear or be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go.”^[d]
