Context of Deuteronomy 10:14
12So, people of Israel, this is what the Lord your God wants you to do: You should respect him with fear. You should live in a way that pleases him. Love him and serve him in everything that you think and in everything that you do. 13Obey the Lord's commands and rules that I am giving to you today. If you do these things, you will have a happy life. The whole sky and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God. The earth and everything that is in it also belong to him. 15But the Lord chose to love your ancestors with a faithful love. You are their descendants. He has chosen you from among all the people of the world. You can see that this is true today! 16So remember that you belong to the Lord. Live to please him! Do not refuse to obey him.
