18 Souviens-toi de l’Éternel, ton Dieu, car c’est lui qui te donnera de la force pour les acquérir, afin de confirmer, comme il le fait aujourd’hui, son alliance qu’il a jurée à tes pères.

19 Si tu oublies l’Éternel, ton Dieu, et que tu ailles après d’autres dieux, si tu les sers et te prosternes devant eux, je vous déclare formellement aujourd’hui que vous périrez.

20 Vous périrez comme les nations que l’Éternel fait périr devant vous, parce que vous n’aurez point écouté la voix de l’Éternel, votre Dieu.
