The Book of Deuteronomy 29

29 These are the words of the covenant that Yahweh commanded Moses to cut with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant that he had cut with them at Horeb.

2 And Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “You have seen everything that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 the great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 But until this day Yahweh has not given to you a heart to know or eyes to see or ears to hear. 5 ‘And I have led you 40 years in the wilderness; your clothes did not wear out on you, and your sandals did not wear out on your feet. 6 You did not eat bread, and you did not drink wine or alcohol, so that you might know that I am Yahweh your God.’ 7 And you came to this place, and Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us for the battle, and we struck them down. 8 And we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to the half tribe of Manasseh. 9 And you shall keep the words of this covenant and do them so that you may prosper in everything that you do.

10 You stand today, all of you, before the face of Yahweh your God—your chiefs, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your children, your wives, and the foreigner who is among you in your camp, from him who cuts your wood to him who draws your water— 12 to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God and into the oath that Yahweh your God is cutting with you today 13 so that he may raise you up today into a people for himself and he may be God for you, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, 14 and not only with you am I cutting this covenant and this oath, 15 but with those who are standing here with us today before the face of Yahweh our God, and with those who are not here with us today.

16 For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we went through in the midst of the nations which you passed through, 17 and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood and stone, silver and gold, that were among them, 18 lest there is among you a man or woman or clan or tribe whose heart is turning away today from Yahweh our God to go serve the gods of those nations, lest there is among you a root bearing gall and wormwood. 19 And it will be, when he hears the words of this curse, then he will bless himself in his heart, saying, ‘I will have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ so that the wet and the dry are swept away. 20 Yahweh is not willing to forgive him. Instead, the nose of Yahweh and his jealousy will smolder against that man, and all the curses written in this book will rest on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the heavens. 21 And Yahweh will separate him for disaster from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.

22 And the latter generation, your children who will rise up after you and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, will say, when they see the plagues of that land and the diseases with which Yahweh has made it sick, 23 ‘All its land is sulfur and burning salt; no one sows and nothing sprouts and not any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, which Yahweh destroyed in his nose and in his wrath,’ 24 and all the nations will say, ‘Because of what has Yahweh done such to this land? What is the heat of this great nose?’ 25 And they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, that he cut with them when he brought them out from the land of Egypt, 26 and they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods that they had not known, and they had no portion of. 27 So the nose of Yahweh burned against that land to bring on it all the curses written in this book, 28 and Yahweh has torn them away from their land in nose and in wrath and in great fury and has thrown them into another land, as this day.’ 29 The secret things are of Yahweh our God; but the revealed things are for us and for our sons until forever, in order to do all the words of this law.
