* These [are ] the words of the covenant , which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab , besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb . * Moses , therefore , called unto all Israel and said unto them , Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants and unto all his land , * the great trials which thine eyes have seen , the signs and those great miracles . * Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear until today . * And I have brought you forty years through the wilderness ; your clothes are not waxed old upon you , and neither has thy shoe waxed old upon thy foot . * Ye have never eaten bread , neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink that ye might know that I [am ] the LORD your God . * And when ye came unto this place , Sihon , the king of Heshbon , and Og , the king of Bashan , came out against us unto battle , and we smote them ; * and we took their land and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reuben and unto Gad and to the half tribe of Manasseh . * Thou shalt keep , therefore , the words of this covenant and do them that ye may understand all that ye do . * Ye stand today , all of you , before the LORD your God , your princes of your tribes , your elders , and your officers , [with ] all the men of Israel , * your little ones , your wives , and thy strangers that dwell within thy camp , from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water , * that thou may enter into covenant with the LORD thy God and into his oath , which the LORD thy God makes with thee today , * to confirm thee today as his people and [that ] he may be unto thee as God , as he has said unto thee , and as he has sworn unto thy fathers , to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob . * Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath , * but with those that stand here with us today before the LORD our God and also with those that are not here with us today . * For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt , and how we came through the Gentiles which ye passed by ; * and ye have seen their abominations and their idols , wood and stone , silver and gold , which [they have ] among them . * 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 . * The hidden things of the LORD our God are uncovered unto us and to our children for ever , that [we ] may do all the words of this law .:
