32Indeed, ask now from one end of the heavens to the other about the days that long preceded you, from the day that God created man on earth: Has anything as great as this ever happened or been reported?
33Has a people ever heard the voice of God speaking out of the fire, as you have, and lived?
34Or has any god tried to take as his own a nation out of another nation—by trials, signs, wonders, and war, by a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and by great terrors—as the LORD your God did for you in Egypt, before your eyes?
35You were shown these things so that you would know that the LORD is God; there is no other besides Him.
36He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.
37Because He loved your fathers, He chose their descendants after them and brought you out of Egypt by His presence and great power,
38to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, and to bring you into their land and give it to you for your inheritance, as it is this day.
39Know therefore this day and take to heart that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below; there is no other.
40Keep His statutes and commandments, which I am giving you today, so that you and your children after you may prosper, and that you may live long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you for all time.
