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

²⁴ And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

¹² If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

³⁹ And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:

²⁵ But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
