Deuteronomy 29:16-29
1599 Geneva Bible
16 For ye know, how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of the nations, which ye passed by.
17 And ye have seen their abominations and their idols (wood and stone, silver and gold) which were among them,
18 That there should not be among you man nor woman, nor family, nor tribe, which should turn his heart away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and that there should not be among you [a]any root that bringeth forth (A)gall and wormwood,
19 So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he [b]bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, although I walk according to the stubbornness of mine own heart, thus adding [c]drunkenness to thirst.
20 The Lord will not be merciful unto him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and every curse that is written in this book, shall light upon him, and the Lord shall put out his name from under heaven.
21 And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according unto all the curses of the covenant, that is written in the book of this Law.
22 So that the [d]generation to come, even your children, that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they shall see the plagues of this land, and the diseases thereof, wherewith the Lord shall smite it:
23 (For all that land shall burn with brimstone and salt: it shall not be sown, nor bring forth, nor any grass shall grow therein, like as in the overthrowing of (B)Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and in his anger.)
24 Then shall all nations say, (C)Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto this land? how fierce is this great wrath?
25 And they shall answer, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which he had made with them, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
26 And went and served other gods and worshipped them: even gods which they knew not, and [e]which had given them nothing,
27 Therefore the wrath of the Lord waxed hot against this land, to bring upon it every curse that is written in this book.
28 And the Lord hath rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and hath cast them into another land, as appeareth this day.
29 The [f]secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong unto us, and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this Law.
