You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you.

“The Lord spoke these commands in a loud voice to your entire assembly from the fire, cloud, and thick darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. He wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.

You must be careful to do everything I command you; do not add anything to it or take anything away from it.

Don’t add to His words,
or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.

I testify to everyone who hears the prophetic words of this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book.

Then Jeremiah took another scroll and gave it to Baruch son of Neriah, the scribe, and he wrote on it at Jeremiah’s dictation all the words of the scroll that Jehoiakim, Judah’s king, had burned in the fire. And many other words like them were added.

I know that all God does will last forever; there is no adding to it or taking from it. God works so that people will be in awe of Him.
