"People of Israel, be sure that you do everything that the LORD your God has commanded you. Do not disobey any of his laws.

Do not let yourselves be led away from the LORD to worship and serve other gods.

"Today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse---

but a curse, if you disobey these commands and turn away to worship other gods that you have never worshiped before.

So be careful to obey and do everything that is written in the book of the Law of Moses. Do not neglect any part of it,

Josiah did what was pleasing to the LORD; he followed the example of his ancestor King David, strictly obeying all the laws of God.

Plan carefully what you do, and whatever you do will turn out right.

Avoid evil and walk straight ahead. Don't go one step off the right way.

If you wander off the road to the right or the left, you will hear his voice behind you saying, "Here is the road. Follow it."
