Deuteronomy29
1/These are the words of the covenant , which the LORD commanded moses to make with the children of Isrel in the land of moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in horeb.
2/And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land;
3/The great temptaiions which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and thouse great miracles;
4/Yet the LORd hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hesr unto this day .
5/And I have you forty yesars in the wilderness; your clothes are not waxen old are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot.
6/Ye have not eaten bread neither have ye drunk wine have ye drunk : that ye might know that I am the LORD 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 battie, 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 ye do .
10/ye stand this day all of you before the LORD yourGod; your captains of your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your offcers, with all the man 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/Rhat thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God , and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:
13/That he may establish thee to day for a people unto be unto thee a god as he hath said unto thee, and said unto thee, and as he hayh 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 LORd our god , and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16/(for ye know how we have dwelt in the kland 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 trbe, whose hesrt turneth away this day from the LORD 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, tthat 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 LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21/And the LORD shall separate him unto esil 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 generstion to come of your children that shall rise up after you , and the stranger that shall comr from a far land , shall say when they see the plaguse of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
23/and that the whole land thereof is brimstone , and salt, and burning, that and is not sown, nor beareth nor any grass groweth therin .like the overthrow, of sodom , and gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, whch the bLORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24/Even all nations shall say, wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land?
what meaneth the heat of this grest anger?
25/then man shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth oput of the land of Egypt:
26/For they went and served dther gods, and worshpped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
27/And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land , to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28/and the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath ,and in great indgnation , and cast them into another land , as it is this day.
29/the secret things belong unto the LORD our god: but those things which are revesled belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words od the law.
