Found it!  You didn't look too hard, did you?

from KJV(cuz that's all I have of text on disk for the Bible):

CHAPTER 30
11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from
thee, neither is it far off.
12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to
heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the
sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that
thou mayest do it.

It emphasizes how the Torah is near to you so you MAY('can' in modern
English) do it!  (ie. that it's obvious you can do it all, so there's no
excuse to say otherwise (eg. no excuse of, "but it's our fallen nature")

Because I care,
