31. --for Jehovah thy God is a merciful ·God --he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
32. For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
33. Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
34. Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
35. Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God --there is none other besides him.
36. From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
