Deuteronomy 4:19-21

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁹ And be careful when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon, and the stars—all the many things in the sky. Be careful that you are not tempted to worship and serve them. The Lord your God lets the other people in the world do this. ²⁰ But the Lord brought you out of Egypt to make you his own special people. He saved you from Egypt. It was as if he pulled you from a hot furnace.^[a] And now you are his people.

²¹ “The Lord was angry with me because of you. He swore that I could not go across the Jordan River into the good land that the Lord your God is giving you.
