⁸ And what great nation is there, that hath statutes and ordinances so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

¹⁹ He showeth his word unto Jacob, His statutes and his ordinances unto Israel.

²⁰ He hath not dealt so with any nation; And as for his ordinances, they have not known them. Praise ye Jehovah.

¹² And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

¹³ to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

⁷ The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

⁸ The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.

⁹ The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, `and' righteous altogether.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.

⁸⁶ All thy commandments are faithful: They persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

⁹⁶ MEM. I have seen an end of all perfection; `But' thy commandment is exceeding broad.

¹²⁷ Therefore I love thy commandments Above gold, yea, above fine gold.

¹²⁸ Therefore I esteem all `thy' precepts concerning all `things' to be right; `And' I hate every false way.

¹² So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³ Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; --that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

¹⁴ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

¹⁶ Every scripture inspired of God `is' also profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for instruction which is in righteousness.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.
