These are the words
of the covenant,
which the LORD
commanded
Moses
to make
with the children
of Israel
in the land
of Moab,
beside the covenant
which he made
with them in Horeb.

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;
say
The great
temptations
which thine eyes
have seen,
the signs,
and those great
miracles:
Yet the LORD
hath not given
you an heart
to perceive,
and eyes
to see,
and ears
to hear,
unto this day.
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.

Ye have not eaten
bread,
neither have ye drunk
wine
or strong drink:
that ye might know
that I am the LORD
your God.
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:

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.
Keep
therefore the words
of this covenant,
and do
them, that ye may prosper
in all that ye do.
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,
chief of a tribe

Your little ones,
your wives,
and thy stranger

thy camp,
from the hewer

unto the drawer

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:
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.
say
Neither with you only do I make
this covenant
and this oath;
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:
(For ye know
how we have dwelt
in the land
of Egypt;
and how we came
through
the nations
which ye passed by;
And ye have seen
their abominations,
and their idols,
wood
and stone,
silver
and gold,
which were among them:)
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;
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:
utter words ominous of the event

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.

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:
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;
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:

Even all nations
shall say,
Wherefore hath the LORD
done
thus unto this land?
what meaneth the heat
of this great
anger?
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:
For they went
and served
other
gods,
and worshipped
them, gods
whom they knew
not, and whom he had not given
unto them:
And the anger
of the LORD
was kindled
against this land,
to bring
upon it all the curses
that are written
in this book:
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.
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.
