New American Standard Bible 1995

² “^(A)I am going the way of all the earth. ^(B)Be strong, therefore, and ^[a]show yourself a man. ³ Keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His ordinances, and His testimonies, ^(C)according to what is written in the Law of Moses, that ^(D)you may succeed in all that you do and wherever you turn, ⁴ so that ^(E)the Lord may carry out His promise which He spoke concerning me, saying, ‘^(F)If your sons are careful of their way, ^(G)to walk before Me in ^[b]truth with all their heart and with all their soul, ^[c](H)you shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’
