Deuteronomy 6:4 - "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!" - through Deuteronomy 6:9 - "You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." - is called 'The watchword of Israel' or The Shema.

Answer: Malachi

Malachi 4:4-6 (The last three verses of the Old Testament): "Remember the law of Moses, my servant, which I commanded Him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary has this to say about these verses, "Here is a solemn conclusion, not only of this prophecy, but of the Old Testament. Conscience bids us remember the law. Though we have not prophets, yet, as long as we have Bibles, we may keep up our communion with God."
