Deuteronomy 29:12-21

12so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the Lord your God is making with you today.

13Today he will affirm that you are his people and that he is your God, just as he promised you and as he swore by oath to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath,

15but with whoever stands with us here today before the Lord our God as well as those not with us here today.

16“(For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we crossed through the nations as we traveled.

17You have seen their detestable things and idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold.)

18Beware that the heart of no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you turns away from the Lord our God today to pursue and serve the gods of those nations; beware that there is among you no root producing poisonous and bitter fruit.

19When such a person hears the words of this oath he secretly blesses himself and says, “I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.” This will destroy the watered ground with the parched.

20The Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger will rage against that man; all the curses written in this scroll will fall upon him and the Lord will obliterate his name from memory.

21The Lord will single him out for judgment from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law.
