Deuteronomy 4:32-40

32“Indeed, 1ask now about the earlier days that were 2before your time, since the 3day that God created 4mankind on the earth, and inquire 5from one end of the heavens to the other. 6Has anything been done like this great thing, or has anything been heard like it? 33 7Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as you have heard it, and survived? 34 8Or has a god ventured to go to take for himself a nation from within another nation 9by trials, by signs and wonders, by war, 10by a mighty hand, by an outstretched arm, and by great terrors, 11just as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35You were shown these things so that you might know that the Lord, He is God; 12there is no other besides Him. 36 13Out of the heavens He let you hear His voice 14to discipline you; and on earth He let you see His great fire, and you heard His words from the midst of the fire. 37 15Because He loved your fathers, He chose 16their descendants after them. And He 17 18personally brought you from Egypt by His great power, 38driving out from before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in and 19to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today. 39Therefore know today, and take it to your heart, that 20the Lord, He is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other. 40 21So you shall keep His statutes and His commandments which I am 22giving you today, so that 23it may go well for you and for your children after you, and 24that you may 25live long on the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
