1	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.
			2	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;
			3	The great temptations which thine eyes have seen# , the signs, and those great miracles:
			4	Yet the LORD hath not given# you an heart to perceive# , and eyes to see# , and ears to hear# , unto this day.
			5	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.
			6	Ye have not eaten# bread, neither have ye drunk# wine or strong drink: that ye might know# that I am the LORD your God.
			7	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:
			8	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.
			9	Keep# therefore the words of this covenant, and do# them, that ye may prosper# in all that ye do# .
			10	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,
			11	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:
			12	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: [enter: Heb. pass]
			13	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.
			14	Neither with you only do I make# this covenant and this oath;
			15	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:
			16	(For ye know# how we have dwelt# in the land of Egypt; and how we came# through the nations which ye passed by# ;
			17	And ye have seen# their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:) [idols: Heb. dungy gods]
			18	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; [gall: or, a poisonous herb: Heb. rosh]
			19	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: [imagination: or, stubbornness] [drunkenness...: Heb. the drunken to the thirsty]
			20	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.
			21	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: [are: Heb. is]
			22	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; [which...: Heb. wherewith the LORD hath made it sick]
			23	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:
			24	Even all nations shall say# , Wherefore hath the LORD done# thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
			25	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:
			26	For they went# and served# other gods, and worshipped# them, gods whom they knew# not, and whom he had not given# unto them: [whom he...: or, who had not given to them any portion] [given: Heb. divided]
			27	And the anger of the LORD was kindled# against this land, to bring# upon it all the curses that are written# in this book:
			28	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.
			29	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.
