Deuteronomy:29:18-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 la #
anah #;
*
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 :
*
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 .
*
And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel Yisra #
el #,
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 hath laid upon it ;
*
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 Ts @
bo #
iym #,
which the LORD overthrew in his anger ,
and in his wrath :
*
Even all nations shall say ,
Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land ?
what meaneth 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 whom he had not given unto them :
*
And 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 this day .
*
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 .
