29:10 Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your
captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with all the
men of Israel,
29:11 Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that is in thy
camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
29:12 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:
29:13 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.
29:14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
29:15 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:
29:16 (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we
came through the nations which ye passed by;
29:17 And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and
stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)
29:18 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;
29:19 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:
29:20 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.
29:21 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:
29:22 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;
29:23 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:
29:24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto
this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
29:25 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:
29:26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods
whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
29:27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring
