Deuteronomy 29:20

Compare all

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.

21 And the Lord ^awould separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the ^bLaw,

22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they ^asee the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:

23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, ^asalt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, ^blike the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’

24 “All nations would say, ^a‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’
