And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;

And said, O LORD God of Israel, {there is} no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and {shewest} mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

There shall not a man be cut off}
