Then I will be your God. And you will be my people. Live the way I command you to live. Then things will go well with you.’

You must really change the way you live and act. Treat one another fairly. Do not treat outsiders or widows badly in this place. Do not take advantage of children whose fathers have died. Do not kill those who are not guilty of doing anything wrong. Do not worship other gods. That will only bring harm to you. If you obey me, I will let you live in this place. It is the land I gave your people of long ago. It was promised to them for ever and ever.

The God of Israel is speaking to you. He is the LORD who rules over all. He says, “Change the way you live and act. Then I will let you live in this place.
