| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3the great trials which your eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"Yet to this day the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5"I have led you forty years in the wilderness; your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6"You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, in order that you might know that I am the LORD your God. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"When you reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we defeated them; |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8and we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"So keep the words of this covenant to do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10"You stand today, all of you, before the LORD your God: your chiefs, your tribes, your elders and your officers, even all the men of Israel, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11your little ones, your wives, and the alien who is within your camps, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water, |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12that you may enter into the covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath which the LORD your God is making with you today, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13in order that He may establish you today as His people and that He may be your God, just as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"Now not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath, |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here today |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed; |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them); |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18so that there will not be among you a 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 nations; that there will not be among you a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will boast, saying, 'I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order to destroy the watered land with the dry.' |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20"The LORD shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and His jealousy will burn against that man, and every curse which is written in this book will rest on him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21"Then the LORD will single him out for adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant which are written in this book of the law. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it, will say, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23'All its land is brimstone and salt, a burning waste, unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.' |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"All the nations will say, 'Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?' |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"Then men will say, 'Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26'They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom He had not allotted to them. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27'Therefore, the anger of the LORD burned against that land, to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book; |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28and the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.' |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law. |
