For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and from the one end of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do not more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

then shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be truth, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,

and it be told thee, and thou hast heard of it, then shalt thou inquire diligently; and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel,

And those that remain shall hear, and fear, and shall henceforth commit no more any such evil in the midst of thee.

For all that do such things, even all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
