33. Did a people ever hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of fire, as you did, and live?
34. Or did any god venture to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, with strong hand and outstretched arm, and by great terrors, all of which the Lord, your God, did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?
35. All this you were allowed to see that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other.
36. Out of the heavens he let you hear his voice to discipline you; on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard him speaking out of the fire.
37. For love of your ancestors he chose their descendants after them and by his presence and great power led you out of Egypt,
38. dispossessing before you nations greater and mightier than you, so as to bring you in and to give their land to you as a heritage, as it is today.
39. This is why you must now acknowledge, and fix in your heart, that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on earth below, and that there is no other.
