112TheseH428 are the wordsH1697 of the covenantH1285 whichH834 the LordH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 to makeH3772 with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the landH776 of MoabH4124, besidesH4480H905 the 3covenantH1285 whichH834 He had madeH3772 with them at HorebH2722.

24And MosesH4872 summonedH7121 allH3605 IsraelH3478 and saidH559 to them, “You have seenH7200 allH3605 that the LordH3068 didH6213 before your eyesH5869 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 to PharaohH6547 and allH3605 his servantsH5650, and to allH3605 his landH776; 35the greatH1419 trialsH4531 whichH834 your eyesH5869 have seenH7200, thoseH1992 greatH1419 signsH226 and wondersH4159. 4Yet to thisH2088 dayH3117 6the LordH3068 has not givenH5414 you a heartH3820 to knowH3045, norH3808 eyesH5869 to seeH7200, norH3808 earsH241 to hearH8085. 5And I have ledH1980 you in the wildernessH4057 for fortyH705 yearsH8141; 7your clothesH8008 have not wornH1086 outH1086 on you, and your sandalH5275 has not wornH1086 outH1086 on your footH7272. 68You have not eatenH398 breadH3899, norH3808 have you drunkH8354 wineH3196 or other strongH7941 drinkH7941, inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 you might knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430. 79When you 10reachedH935 thisH2088 placeH4725, SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of HeshbonH2809 and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of BashanH1316 cameH3318 outH3318 to meetH7122 us for battleH4421, but we 11defeatedH5221 them; 8and we tookH3947 their landH776 and 12gaveH5414 it as an inheritanceH5159 to the ReubenitesH7206, the GaditesH1425, and the half-tribeH2677H7626 of the ManassitesH4520. 913So you will keepH8104 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 covenantH1285 and doH6213 them, 14inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 you may beH7919 successfulH7919 in everythingH3605 that you doH6213.

10“You standH5324 todayH3117, allH3605 of you, beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430: your headsH7218, your tribesH7626, your eldersH2205 and your officersH7860, that is, allH3605 the menH376 of IsraelH3478, 11your littleH2945 onesH2945, your wivesH802, and the strangerH1616 whoH834 is withinH7130 your campsH4264, from 15the one who gathersH2404 your firewoodH6086 to the one who drawsH7579 your waterH4325, 12so that you may enterH5674 into the covenantH1285 with the LordH3068 your GodH430, and into His oathH423 whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 is makingH3772 with you todayH3117, 13inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 He may establishH6965 you todayH3117 as His peopleH5971, and that 16He may be your GodH430, justH3512 asH3512 He spokeH1696 to you and as He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290.

14“Now it is not with you aloneH905 that I am 17makingH3772 thisH2088 covenantH1285 and thisH2088 oathH423, 1518but both with those whoH834 standH5975 hereH6311 with us todayH3117 in the presenceH6440 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, and with those whoH834 are not with us hereH6311 todayH3117 16(for you knowH3045 howH834 we livedH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and howH834 we passedH5674 through the midstH7130 of the nationsH1471 throughH5674 whichH834 you passedH5674; 17moreover, you have seenH7200 their abominationsH8251 and their idolsH1544 made of 19woodH6086 and stoneH68, silverH3701 and goldH2091, whichH834 they had with them); 1820soH6435 thatH6435 thereH3426 will notH6435 beH3426 among you a manH376 orH176 womanH802, orH176 familyH4940 orH176 tribeH7626, whoseH834 heartH3824 turnsH6437 awayH6437 todayH3117 from the LordH3068 our GodH430, to goH1980 to serveH5647 the godsH430 of thoseH1992 nationsH1471; that thereH3426 will not beH3426 among you 21a rootH8328 bearingH6509 poisonousH7219 fruitH6509 and wormwoodH3939. 19And it shall be when he hearsH8085 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 curseH423, that he will considerH1288 himself fortunateH1288 in his heartH3824, sayingH559, ‘I will doH1961 wellH7965 thoughH3588 I walkH1980 in the stubbornnessH8307 of my heartH3820 inH4616 orderH4616 22toH4616 destroyH5595 the wateredH7302 land alongH854 with the dryH6771.’ 20The LordH3068 will not beH14 willingH14 to forgiveH5545 him, but ratherH3588H227 the angerH639 of the LordH3068 and 23His wrathH7068 will 2425burnH6225 against that personH376, and everyH3605 curseH423 that is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612 will lieH7257 upon him, and the LordH3068 will 26wipeH4229 outH4229 his nameH8034 from underH8478 heavenH8064. 21Then the LordH3068 will singleH914 him outH914 for disasterH7463 from allH3605 the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, in accordance with allH3605 the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 27which is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 BookH5612 of the LawH8451.

22“Now the futureH314 generationH1755, your sonsH1121 whoH834 riseH6965 upH6965 afterH4480H310 you and 28the foreignerH5237 whoH834 comesH935 from a distantH7350 landH776, when they seeH7200 the plaguesH4347 of that landH776 and the diseasesH8463 with whichH834 the LordH3068 has afflictedH2470 it, will sayH559, 23‘AllH3605 its landH776 is 29brimstoneH1614 and saltH4417, 30burnedH8316 debrisH8316, 31unsownH3808H2232 and unproductiveH6779H3808, and noH3808H3605 grassH6212 growsH5927 on it, like the overthrowH4114 of 32SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, AdmahH126 and ZeboiimH6636, whichH834 the LordH3068 overthrewH2015 in His angerH639 and in His wrathH2534.’ 24AllH3605 the nationsH1471 will sayH559, ‘33WhyH5921H4100 has the LordH3068 doneH6213 all thisH3602 to thisH2088 landH776? WhyH4100 thisH2088 greatH1419 34outburstH2750 of angerH639?’ 25Then people will sayH559, ‘It is 35becauseH5921H834 they abandonedH5800 the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, the GodH430 of their fathersH1, whichH834 He madeH3772 with them when He broughtH3318 them outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 26And they wentH1980 and servedH5647 otherH312 godsH430 and worshipedH2331 them, godsH430 that they have not knownH3045 and whom He had not 36assignedH2505 to them. 27Therefore, the angerH639 of the LordH3068 burnedH2734 against that landH776, 37to bringH935 upon it everyH3605 curseH7045 which is writtenH3789 in thisH2088 bookH5612; 28and 38the LordH3068 uprootedH5428 them from their landH127 in angerH639, furyH2534, and in greatH1419 wrathH7110, and hurledH7993 them into anotherH312 landH776, as it is thisH2088 dayH3117.’

29“39The secretH5641 thingsH5641 belong to the LordH3068 our GodH430, but 40the thingsH1540 revealedH1540 belong to us and to our sonsH1121 foreverH5704H5769, so that we may 41followH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 LawH8451.
