Warnings |
|
|
 |
| Deuteronomy 7:1 |
|
"When the LORD your God brings you into the
land where you are entering to possess it, and clears away many nations before
you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and
the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and stronger
than you, |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:2 |
|
and when the LORD your God delivers them before
you and you defeat them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no
covenant with them and show no favor to them. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:3 |
|
Furthermore, you shall not intermarry with them;
you shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor shall you take their daughters
for your sons. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:4 |
|
For they will turn your sons away from following
Me to serve other gods; then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you
and He will quickly destroy you. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:5 |
|
But thus you shall do to them: you shall tear
down their altars, and smash their sacred pillars, and hew down their Asherim,
and burn their graven images with fire. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:6 |
|
For you are a holy people to the LORD your God;
the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of
all the peoples who are on the face of the earth. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:7 |
|
"The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose
you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the
fewest of all peoples, |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:8 |
|
but because the LORD loved you and kept the
oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty
hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king
of Egypt. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:9 |
|
Know therefore that the LORD your God, He is
God, the faithful God, who keeps His covenant and His lovingkindness to a thousandth
generation with those who love Him and keep His commandments; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:10 |
|
but repays those who hate Him to their faces,
to destroy them; He will not delay with him who hates Him, He will repay him to
his face. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:11 |
|
Therefore, you shall keep the commandment and
the statutes and the judgments which I am commanding you today, to do them. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
Promises
of God |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:12 |
|
"Then it shall come about, because you listen
to these judgments and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with
you His covenant and His lovingkindness which He swore to your forefathers. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:13 |
|
He will love you and bless you and multiply
you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your
grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young
of your flock, in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:14 |
|
You shall be blessed above all peoples; there
will be no male or female barren among you or among your cattle. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:15 |
|
The LORD will remove from you all sickness;
and He will not put on you any of the harmful diseases of Egypt which you have
known, but He will lay them on all who hate you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:16 |
|
You shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD
your God will deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them, nor shall you serve
their gods, for that would be a snare to you. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:17 |
|
"If you should say in your heart, 'These nations
are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?' |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:18 |
|
you shall not be afraid of them; you shall well
remember what the LORD your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt: |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:19 |
|
the great trials which your eyes saw and the
signs and the wonders and the mighty hand and the outstretched arm by which the
LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples
of whom you are afraid. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:20 |
|
Moreover, the LORD your God will send the hornet
against them, until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:21 |
|
You shall not dread them, for the LORD your
God is in your midst, a great and awesome God. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:22 |
|
The LORD your God will clear away these nations
before you little by little; you will not be able to put an end to them quickly,
for the wild beasts would grow too numerous for you. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:23 |
|
But the LORD your God will deliver them before
you, and will throw them into great confusion until they are destroyed. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:24 |
|
He will deliver their kings into your hand so
that you will make their name perish from under heaven; no man will be able to
stand before you until you have destroyed them. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:25 |
|
The graven images of their gods you are to burn
with fire; you shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take
it for yourselves, or you will be snared by it, for it is an abomination to the
LORD your God. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 7:26 |
|
You shall not bring an abomination into your
house, and like it come under the ban; you shall utterly detest it and you shall
utterly abhor it, for it is something banned. |
