Deuteronomy 4:32-40 - The Lord Alone Is God

³² "Indeed, ask from one end of the heavens to the other about days of old, before your time, when God created mankind on the earth. Did we ever have anything as great as this, or ever hear of anything like it? ³³ Has any people heard the voice of God speaking from the middle of a fire just as you did, and survived it? ³⁴ Or has any god ever taken for himself one nation out from another nation with testings, signs, wonders, wars, awesome power, and magnificent, terrifying deeds as the LORD your God did in Egypt before your eyes? ³⁵ "You have been shown this in order to know that "the LORD is God' and there is no one like him. ³⁶ You have been made to hear his voice from heaven so you may be instructed. And he showed you his great fire here on earth, and you heard his voice from the middle of that fire. ³⁷ Moreover, he loved your ancestors, chose their descendants after them, and brought you out of Egypt, accompanied by his presence and great power, ³⁸ in order to drive out nations that are stronger and more powerful than you, to bring you into this land, and to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is today. ³⁹ "May you acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in the heavens above and over the earth below there is no other God. ⁴⁰ May you observe his statutes and keep his commands that I'm giving you today, so that life may go well for you and for your descendants after you. That way, you'll live a long life in the land that the LORD your God is about to give you permanently."
