5	He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.	I have led you forty years in the wilderness.

Yet the LORD says, “During the forty years that I led you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.
6	You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.

I did this so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.”
7	And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.

10	Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,	“You are standing today, all of you, before the LORD your God: the heads of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel,	All of you are standing today in the presence of the LORD your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel,
11	your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,	your little ones, your wives, and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,	together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water.

13	So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.	that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you, and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.	to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
14	And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,	It is not with you alone that I am making this sworn covenant,	I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you
15	but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.	but with whoever is standing here with us today before the LORD our God, and with whoever is not here with us today.	who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God but also with those who are not here today.
16	For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations.

17	you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,	And you have seen their detestable things, their idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, which were among them.

18	so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.	Beware lest there be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from the LORD our God to go and serve the gods of those nations. Beware lest there be among you a root bearing poisonous and bitter fruit,	Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.
19	And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.	one who, when he hears the words of this sworn covenant, blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall be safe, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.’ This will lead to the sweeping away of moist and dry alike.	When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,” they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
20	But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him.

The LORD will never be willing to forgive them; his wrath and zeal will burn against them. All the curses written in this book will fall on them, and the LORD will blot out their names from under heaven.
21	and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.	And the LORD will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.

22	And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,	And the next generation, your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, will say, when they see the afflictions of that land and the sicknesses with which the LORD has made it sick—	Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it.
23	having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.	the whole land burned out with brimstone and salt, nothing sown and nothing growing, where no plant can sprout, an overthrow like that of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and wrath—	The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur—nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, which the LORD overthrew in fierce anger.
24	And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’	all the nations will say, ‘Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What caused the heat of this great anger?’	All the nations will ask: “Why has the LORD done this to this land? Why this fierce, burning anger?”
25	And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.	Then people will say, ‘It is because they abandoned 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,	And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
26	And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.	and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them.	They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them.
27	For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.	Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, bringing upon it all the curses written in this book,	Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book.
28	And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’	and the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as they are this day.’	In furious anger and in great wrath the LORD uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”
29	These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”	“The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.	The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.
