*
For if you turn back ,
and join the remnant of these nations left here among you ,
and make marriages with them ,
so that you marry their women and they yours ,
*
know assuredly that the LORD your God will not continue to drive out these nations before you ;
but they shall be a snare and a trap for you ,
a scourge on your sides ,
and thorns in your eyes ,
till you perish from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you .
* "
And now I am about to go the way of all the earth ,
and you know in your hearts and souls ,
all of you ,
that not one thing has failed of all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you ;
all have come to pass for you ,
not one of them has failed .
*
But just as all the good things which the LORD your God promised concerning you have been fulfilled for you ,
so the LORD will bring upon you all the evil things ,
until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God has given you ,
*
if you transgress the covenant of the LORD your God ,
which he commanded you ,
and go and serve other gods and bow down to them .
Then the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you ,
and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which he has given to you ."
