Bible. Deuteronomy
05:029:012 That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God,
and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee
this day:
05:029:013 That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself,
and that he may be unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee,
and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob.
05:029:014 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
05:029:015 But with him that standeth here with us this day before the
LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this
day:
05:029:016 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how
we came through the nations which ye passed by;
05:029:017 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and
stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
05:029:018 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or
tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our
God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there
should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
05:029:019 And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse,
that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have
peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add
drunkenness to thirst:
05:029:020 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD
and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the
curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and
the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
05:029:021 And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the
tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant
that are written in this book of the law:
05:029:022 So that the generation to come of your children that shall
rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far
land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and
the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
05:029:023 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and
burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass
groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah,
Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and
in his wrath:
05:029:024 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
05:029:025 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of
the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
05:029:026 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods
whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
