is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6
Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong
drink: that ye might know that I
am
the L
ORD
your God.
7
And when ye came unto this place, Sihon
the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us unto battle, and we smote
them:
8
And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the
Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
9
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do
them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
10
Ye stand this day all of you before the L
ORD
your God; your captains of your tribes, your
elders, and your officers,
with
all the men of Israel,
11
Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger
that
is
in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water:
12
That thou shouldest
enter into covenant with the L
ORD
thy God, and into his oath, which the L
ORD
thy God maketh with
thee this day:
13
That he may establish thee to day for a people unto himself, and
that
he may be
unto thee a God, as he hath said unto thee, and as he hath sworn unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to
Isaac, and to Jacob.
14
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15
But with
him
that standeth here with us this day before the L
ORD
our God, and also with
him
that
is
not here with
us this day:
16
(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through
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
Lest there should be among you man, or woman,
or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the L
ORD
our God, to go
and
serve the
gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
19
And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart,
saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to
thirst:
20
The L
ORD
will not spare him, but then the anger of the L
ORD
and his jealousy shall smoke
against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the L
ORD
shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21
And the L
ORD
shall separate him unto evil out of all
the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the
law:
22
So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger
that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses
which the L
ORD
hath laid upon it;
23
And that
the whole land thereof
is
brimstone, and salt,
and
burning,
that
it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom,
and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the L
ORD
overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the L
ORD
done thus unto this land? what
meaneth
the
heat of this great anger?
25
Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the
L
ORD
God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land
of Egypt:
26
For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew
not, and
whom
he had not given unto them:
27
And the anger of the L
ORD
was kindled against this
land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28
And the L
ORD
rooted them out
of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as
it
