Deuteronomy 4:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ See! I taught you the statutes and the ordinances, just as the Lord God commanded. Therefore, observe them^[a] when you enter the land you are about to possess. ⁶ Observe them carefully, because this will show your wisdom and discernment in the eyes of people who’ll listen to all these decrees. Then they’ll say: ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and discerning people.’ ⁷ For what great nation has a god so near like the Lord our God whenever we call on him?
