14 You shall not go after other gods, the gods of the people who are round about you, 15 (For the LORD your God is a zealous God among you) test the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth. 16 You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him with temptations. 17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and his testimonies and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 18 And you shall de that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers, 19 And defeat all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken. 20 And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the judgments which the LORD our God has commanded you? 21 Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand; 22 And the LORD wrought signs and great wonders, and plagues in Egypt against Pharaoh and against all his army, before our eyes; 23 And the LORD brought us out from there, that he might bring us in and give us the land which he swore to our fathers. 24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. 25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe and do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
