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:
05:029:027 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to
bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
05:029:028 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in
wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it
is this day.
05:029:029 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those
things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law.
05:030:001 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come
upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee,
and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the
LORD thy God hath driven thee,
05:030:002 And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his
voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy
children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
