18 Antes lembra-te do SENHOR teu Deus: porque ele te dá o poder para fazer as riquezas, a fim de confirmar seu pacto que jurou a teus pais, como neste dia.

19 Mas será, se chegares a esquecer-te do SENHOR teu Deus, e andares atrás de deuses alheios, e lhes servires, e a eles te encurvares, atesto-o hoje contra vós, que certamente perecereis.

20 Como as nações que o SENHOR destruirá diante de vós, assim perecereis; porquanto não havereis atendido à voz do SENHOR vosso Deus.
