Deuteronomy 29

1 Theseare the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children ofIsrael in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb. 2 And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, You⌃ have seen all things thatthe Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land; 3 the great temptations which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear,until this day. 5 And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and yoursandals were not worn away off your feet. 6 You⌃ did not eat bread, you⌃ did not drink wine or strong drink, that you⌃ might knowthat Iam the Lord your God. 7 And you⌃ came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og kingof Basan, to meet us in war. 8 And we struck them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben andGad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse. 9 And you⌃ shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that you⌃ may understandall things that you⌃ shall do. 10 You⌃ all stand today before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders,and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel, 11 your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, fromyour hewer of wood even to your drawer of water, 12 that you should enter into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oaths, as manyas the Lord your God appoints you this day; 13 that he may appoint you to himself for a people, and he shall be your God, as he saidto you, and as he sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob. 14 And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath; 15 but to those also who are here with you today before the Lord your God, and to thosewho are not here with you today. 16 For you⌃ know how we lived in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of thenations through whom you⌃ came. 17 And you⌃ [*]saw their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold,which are among them. 18 Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned asidefrom the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springingup with gall and bitterness. 19 And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himselfin his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinnerdestroy the guiltless withhim: 20 God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and hisjealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselvesto him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, accordingto all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law. 22 And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and thestranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases,which the Lord has sent upon it, 23 brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any greenthing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lordoverthrew in his wrath and anger:)— 24 and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? whatis this great fierceness of anger? 25 Andmen shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the thingswhich he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt: 26 and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assignthem to them. 27 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all thecurses which are written in the book of this law. 28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation,and cast them out into another land as at present. 29 The secret thingsbelong to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealedbelong to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
