Deuteronomy 29:12-21

12so that you may enter into the covenant of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, so that you may enter into his oath

13and so that he may establish you today as his people and he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14I am making this covenant and this oath not only with you,

15but also with those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God and with those who are not here today.

16“Indeed, you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and passed through the nations where you traveled.

17You saw their abhorrent images and idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them.

18Be sure there is no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations. Be sure there is no root among you bearing poisonous and bitter fruit.

19When someone hears the words of this oath, he may consider himself exempt, thinking, ‘I will have peace even though I follow my own stubborn heart.’ This will lead to the destruction of the well-watered land as well as the dry land.

20The Lord will not be willing to forgive him. Instead, his anger and jealousy will burn against that person, and every curse written in this scroll will descend on him. The Lord will blot out his name under heaven,

21and single him out for harm from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.
