But as I told you, you’ve seen Me, and yet you do not believe.

But my eyes look to You, Lord God.
I seek refuge in You; do not let me die.

See, the Lord your God has set the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.

“When you enter the land the Lord your God is giving you, do not imitate the detestable customs of those nations.

About the times and the seasons: Brothers, you do not need anything to be written to you.

When the Lord your God drives them out before you, do not say to yourself, ‘The Lord brought me in to take possession of this land because of my righteousness.’ Instead, the Lord will drive out these nations before you because of their wickedness.

For I, Yahweh your God,
hold your right hand
and say to you: Do not fear,
I will help you.

This is the word of the Lord
your Maker who formed you from the womb;
He will help you:
Do not fear; Jacob is My servant;
I have chosen Jeshurun.

I am Yahweh, and there is no other;
there is no God but Me.
I will strengthen you,
though you do not know Me,

They refused to listen
and did not remember Your wonders
You performed among them.
They became stiff-necked and appointed a leader
to return to their slavery in Egypt.
But You are a forgiving God,
gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and rich in faithful love,
and You did not abandon them.

But if your heart turns away and you do not listen and you are led astray to bow down to other gods and worship them,

“Now, get ready. Stand up and tell them everything that I command you. Do not be intimidated by them or I will cause you to cower before them.

But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, diviners, dreamers, fortune-tellers, or sorcerers who say to you, ‘Don’t serve the king of Babylon!’

Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity,
for that is why you have been tested by affliction.

You did not obey the Lord and did not carry out His burning anger against Amalek; therefore the Lord has done this to you today.

You eat the fat, wear the wool, and butcher the fattened animals, but you do not tend the flock.

But You have rejected and humiliated us;
You do not march out with our armies.

You are to be careful always to observe the statutes, the ordinances, the law, and the commandments He wrote for you; do not fear other gods.

This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

You also be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”

“But if you do not obey Me and observe all these commands—

“If in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but act with hostility toward Me,

“And if in spite of this you do not obey Me but act with hostility toward Me,

M If you do not know,
most beautiful of women,
follow the tracks of the flock,
and pasture your young goats
near the shepherds’ tents.

He said to the Levites who taught all Israel the holy things of the Lord, “Put the holy ark in the temple built by Solomon son of David king of Israel. Since you do not have to carry it on your shoulders, now serve Yahweh your God and His people Israel.

Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you:
do not stir up or awaken love
until the appropriate time.

Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“that this house will become a ruin.”

But the Levites among you do not get a portion, because their inheritance is the priesthood of the Lord. Gad, Reuben, and half the tribe of Manasseh have taken their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the Lord’s servant gave them.”

Now if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, and I put a stumbling block in front of him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die because of his sin and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood.

Saul declared to him, “May God punish me and do so severely if you do not die, Jonathan!”

I will trouble the hearts of many peoples,
when I bring about your destruction
among the nations,
in countries you do not know.

My God, I cry by day, but You do not answer,
by night, yet I have no rest.
