Deuteronomy 6:13 in context

The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 6.

9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.

10 And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,

11 with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,

12 be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

13 Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.

14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.

15 For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.

16 Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.

17 You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.
