Your clothes did not wear out on you, and your sandals did not wear out on your feet. 5 You did not eat bread or drink wine or strong drink, so that you might know that I am the LORD your God. 6 When you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out to fight against us, but we defeated them. 7 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. 8 Therefore, keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that you may prosper in all that you do. 9 All of you are standing today before the LORD your God—your leaders, your tribes, your elders, your officers, every man of Israel. 10 Your children, your wives, and the resident foreigner who lives among your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water. 11 You are entering into the covenant of the LORD your God and His oath, which the LORD your God is making with you today. 12 He is confirming you today as His people, and He will be your God, just as He promised you and swore to your ancestors—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 13 It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant and this oath. 14 But also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not here with us today. 15 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we passed through the nations you encountered on the way.

Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will receive its approval. 4 For the ruler is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not carry the sword in vain. He is God's servant, an avenger who carries out wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to be subject, not only because of wrath but also because of conscience. 6 This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are servants of God, continually attending to this very thing.
