Context

5But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.

6For you are a holy people to Yahweh your God. Yahweh your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.

7Yahweh didn’t set his love on you nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples;

8but because Yahweh loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

9Know therefore that Yahweh your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,

10and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who hates him. He will repay him to his face.

11You shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to do them.
