Deuteronomy 4:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Do not be tempted to worship and serve what you see in the sky—the sun, the moon, and the stars. The Lord your God has given these to all other peoples for them to worship. ^20 (A)But you are the people he rescued from Egypt, that blazing furnace. He brought you out to make you his own people, as you are today. ^21 (B)Because of you the Lord your God was angry with me and solemnly declared that I would not cross the Jordan River to enter the fertile land which he is giving you.
