* Peradventure there shall be among you man , or woman , or family , or tribe , whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God to go [and ] serve the gods of those Gentiles ; peradventure there shall be among you a root that bears poison and wormwood ; * and it shall be , that when that one hears the words of this curse , that he blesses himself in his heart , saying , I shall have peace , though I walk in the imagination of my heart , to add drunkenness to thirst . * The LORD will not forgive 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 . * 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 . * 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 has laid upon it , * [and that ] the whole land thereof [is ] brimstone and salt [and ] burning , [that ] it is not sown , nor shall it produce [anything ], nor shall any grass grow therein , like in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah , Admah , and Zeboim , which the LORD overthrew in his anger and in his wrath ; * even all Gentiles shall say , Why has the LORD done thus unto this land ? What [means ] the heat of this great anger ? * 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 ; * for they went and served other gods and worshipped them , gods whom they knew not and who had not given anything unto them . * Therefore , the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book . * 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 ] today .
