Deuteronomy 29:10-20

10Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your 1God: your chiefs [of] your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,

11your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy camp, as well the hewer of thy wood as the drawer of thy water;

12that thou mayest enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy 2God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy 3God maketh with thee this day;

13that he may establish thee this day for a people unto himself, and [that] he may be to thee a 4God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

15but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our 5God, and with him that is not here with us this day

16(for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;

17and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

18lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our 6God, to go and serve the 7gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,

19and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.

20Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;
