¹⁴ “Now I am about to go the way of all the earth.^(A) You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Every promise^(B) has been fulfilled; not one has failed.^{(C) 15} But just as all the good things^(D) the Lord your God has promised you have come to you, so he will bring on you all the evil things^(E) he has threatened, until the Lord your God has destroyed you^(F) from this good land he has given you.^(G)
