Obey the commands of the Lord your God, living as he has commanded you and respecting him.
Live the way the Lord your God has commanded you so that you may live and have what is good and have a long life in the land you will take.
Zechariah and Elizabeth truly did what God said was good. They did everything the Lord commanded and were without fault in keeping his law.
Happy are those who respect the Lord and obey him.
Then the people will respect and obey you as long as they live in this land you gave our ancestors.
You must honor the Lord and truly serve him with all your heart. Remember the wonderful things he did for you!
Warn them about the laws and teachings, and teach them the right way to live and what they should do.
Know in your heart that the Lord your God corrects you as a parent corrects a child.
The Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land with rivers and pools of water, with springs that flow in the valleys and hills,
I wish their hearts would always respect me and that they would always obey my commands so that things would go well for them and their children forever!
