Deuteronomy 29:16

14 “I make this covenant and this oath, ^anot with you alone,

15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, ^aas well as with him who is not here with us today

16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by,

17 and you saw their¹ abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold);

18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, ^awhose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, ^band that there may not be among you a root bearing ^cbitterness or wormwood;

19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I¹ follow the ^adictates of my heart’—^bas though the drunkard could be included with the sober.

20 ^a“The Lord would not spare him; for then ^bthe anger of the Lord and ^cHis jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord ^dwould blot out his name from under heaven.
