7. Not because ye were more than the other peoples has the Lord desired you and chosen you; for ye were the fewest of all the peoples;
8. but because the Lord loved you and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, has the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand and ransomed you out of the house of slavery from the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt.
9. Know, therefore, that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy with those that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations
10. and repays him that hates him to his face, to destroy him; he will not be slack to him that hates him; he will repay him to his face.
11. Keep, therefore, the commandments and statutes and rights, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12. And it shall come to pass, for having heard these rights and for having kept them by doing them that the Lord thy God shall keep the covenant with thee and the mercy which he swore unto thy fathers;
