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.
