Book 05 : DEUTERONOMY - Chapter 029
029:001
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
029:002
The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs,
and those great miracles
029:003
Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes
to see, and ears to hear, unto this day
029:004
And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes
are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon
thy foot
029:005
Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong
drink: that ye might know that I am the LORD your God
029:006
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
029:007
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
029:008
Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that
ye may prosper in all that ye do
029:009
Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your
captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, with
all the men of Israel
029:010
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
029:011
That thou shouldest enter into covenant with the LORD thy God,
and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee
this day
029:012
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
029:013
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath
029:014
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
029:015
(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how
we came through the nations which ye passed by
029:016
And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and
stone, silver and gold, which were among them:
029:017
Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or
tribe, whose heart 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
029:018
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
029:019
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
029:020
And the LORD 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
029:021
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 LORD hath laid upon it
029:022
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 LORD overthrew in his anger, and
in his wrath
029:023
Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus
unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger
029:024
Then men 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 out of the land of Egypt
029:025
For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods
whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them
029:026
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to
bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book
029:027
And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in
wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another
land, as it is this day
029:028
The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those
things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children
for ever, that we may do all the words of this law
