“Now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

walk and please God (just as you actually do walk), that you excel still more.

Render recompense to the proud.
