7 Just be strong and very brave, and be sure to obey all the law that my servant Moses instructed you to follow. Don’t turn aside from it, either to the right or to the left, so that you may be successful in everything you do. 8 Keep on reminding the people about the law.* Meditate on it day and night, so you can be sure to do what it requires. Then you will be successful and prosper in what you do. 9 Don’t forget what I told you: Be strong! Be brave! Don’t be afraid! Don’t get discouraged! For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
