“Jacob, remember these things!\par Israel, remember,\par you are my servant.\par I made you.\par You are my servant.\par So Israel, don’t forget me.\par
People of Jacob, this is true!\par Israel, you should believe this!\par So why do you say:\par “The Lord can’t see the way I live.\par God will not find me and punish me.”\par
Yes, I have been scattering my people throughout the nations. But in those faraway places they will remember me. They and their children will survive. And they will come back.
In that new land, you must be careful not to forget the Agreement that the Lord your God made with you. You must obey the Lord’s command. Don’t make any idols in any form!
But you must be careful! Be sure that as long as you live you never forget the things you have seen. You must teach those things to your children and grandchildren.
