Deuteronomy 29:16-29

16(for you knowH3045 howH834 we livedH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and howH834 we cameH5674 through the midstH7130 of the nationsH1471 throughH5674 whichH834 you passedH5674; 17moreover, you have seenH7200 their abominationsH8251 and their idolsH1544 of 1woodH6086, stoneH68, silverH3701, and goldH2091, whichH834 they had with them); 182soH6435 that thereH3426 will not be among you a manH376 orH176 womanH802, orH176 familyH4940 orH176 tribeH7626, whoseH834 heartH3824 turnsH6437 awayH6437 todayH3117 from the LordH3068 our GodH430, to goH1980 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of thoseH1992 nationsH1471; that thereH3426 will not be among you 3a rootH8328 bearingH6509 poisonousH7219 fruitH6509 and wormwoodH3939. 19It shall be when he hearsH8085 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 curseH423, that he will 4boastH1288, sayingH559, ‘I haveH1961 peaceH7965 thoughH3588 I walkH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of my heartH3820 in orderH4616 5to destroyH5595 the wateredH7302 land with the dryH6771.’ 20The LordH3068 shall neverH3808 be willingH14 to forgiveH5545 him, but ratherH3588H227 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 and 6His jealousyH7068 will 78burnH6225 against that manH376, and everyH3605 curseH423 which is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612 will 9restH7257 on him, and the LordH3068 will 10blotH4229 out his nameH8034 from underH8478 heavenH8064. 21Then the LordH3068 will singleH914 him out for 11adversityH7463 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to allH3605 the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 12which are writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612 of the lawH8451.

22“Now the generationH1755 to comeH314, your sonsH1121 whoH834 riseH6965 up afterH4480H310 you and 13the foreignerH5237 whoH834 comesH935 from a distantH7350 landH776, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of the landH776 and the diseasesH8463 with whichH834 the LordH3068 has 14afflictedH2470 it, will sayH559, 23‘AllH3605 its landH776 is 15brimstoneH1614 and saltH4417, 16a burningH8316 waste, 17unsownH3808H2232 and unproductiveH6779H3808, and noH3808H3605 grassH6212 growsH5927 in it, like the overthrowH4114 of 18SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126 and ZeboiimH6636, whichH834 the LordH3068 overthrewH2015 in His angerH639 and in His wrathH2534.’ 24AllH3605 the nationsH1471 will sayH559, ‘19WhyH5921H4100 has the LordH3068 doneH6213 thusH3662 to thisH2088 landH776? WhyH4100 thisH2088 greatH1419 20outburstH2750 of angerH639?’ 25Then men will sayH559, ‘21BecauseH5921H834 they forsookH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, whichH834 He madeH3772 with them when He broughtH3318 them out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 26They wentH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH7812 them, godsH430 whomH834 they have not knownH3045 and whom He had not 22allottedH2505 to them. 27Therefore, the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against that landH776, 23to bringH935 upon it everyH3605 curseH7045 which is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612; 28and 24the LordH3068 uprootedH5428 them from their landH127 in angerH639 and in furyH2534 and in greatH1419 wrathH7110, and castH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.’

29“25The secretH5641 thingsH5641 belong to the LordH3068 our GodH430, but 26the thingsH1540 revealedH1540 belong to us and to our sonsH1121 foreverH5704H5769, that we may observeH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451.
