Deuteronomy 29:12-21
12That thou shouldest enterH5674 into covenantH1285 with YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, and into his oathH423, which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 makethH3772 with thee this dayH3117:1
13That he may establishH6965 thee to dayH3117 for a peopleH5971 unto himself, and that he may be unto thee a GodH430, as he hath saidH1696 unto thee, and as he hath swornH7650 unto thy fathersH1, to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290.
14Neither with you only do I makeH3772 this covenantH1285 and this oathH423;
15But with him that standethH5975 here with us thisH3426 dayH3117 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068 our GodH430, and also with him that is not here with us this dayH3117:
16(For ye knowH3045 how we have dweltH3427 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714; and how we cameH5674 throughH7130 the nationsH1471 which ye passed byH5674;
17And ye have seenH7200 their abominationsH8251, and their idolsH1544, woodH6086 and stoneH68, silverH3701 and goldH2091, which were among them:)2
18Lest there should beH3426 among you manH376, or womanH802, or familyH4940, or tribeH7626, whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437 this dayH3117 from YhwhH3068 our GodH430, to goH3212 and serveH5647 the godsH430 of these nationsH1471; lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509 gallH7219 and wormwoodH3939;3
19And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085 the wordsH1697 of this curseH423, that he blessH1288 himself in his heartH3824, sayingH559, I shall have peaceH7965, thoughH3588 I walkH3212 in the imaginationH8307 of mine heartH3820, to addH5595 drunkennessH7302 to thirstH6771:45
20YhwhH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of YhwhH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and YhwhH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
21And YhwhH3068 shall separateH914 him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 of the lawH8451:6
