The Covenant Renewed in Moab

2Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land,H4872H7121H3478H559H7200H3068H6213H5869H776H4714H6547H5650H776 3the great trials that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.H1419H4531H5869H7200H226H1419H4159 4But to this day the LORD has not given you a mind to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear.H3068H5414H3820H3045H5869H7200H241H8085H3117 5I have led you forty years in the wilderness. The clothes on your back have not worn out, and the sandals on your feet have not worn out;H3212H705H8141H4057H8008H1086H5275H1086H7272 6you have not eaten bread, and you have not drunk wine or strong drink—so that you may know that I am the LORD your God.H398H3899H8354H3196H7941H3045H3068H430 7When you came to this place, King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan came out against us for battle, but we defeated them.H935H4725H5511H4428H2809H5747H4428H1316H3318H7125H4421H5221 8We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.H3947H776H5414H5159H7206H1425H2677H7626H4520 9Therefore diligently observe the words of this covenant, in order that you may succeed in everything that you do.H8104H1697H1285H6213H7919H6213 10You stand assembled today, all of you, before the LORD your God—the leaders of your tribes, your elders, and your officials, all the men of Israel,H5324H3117H6440H3068H430H7218H7626H2205H7860H376H3478 11your children, your women, and the aliens who are in your camp, both those who cut your wood and those who draw your water—H2945H802H1616H7130H4264H2404H6086H7579H4325 12to enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, sworn by an oath, which the LORD your God is making with you today;H5674H1285H3068H430H423H3068H430H3772H3117 13in order that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he promised you and as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.H6965H3117H5971H430H1696H7650H1H85H3327H3290 14I am making this covenant, sworn by an oath, not only with you who stand here with us today before the LORD our God,H3772H1285H423 15but also with those who are not here with us today.H5975H3426H3117H6440H3068H430H3117 16You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed.H3045H3427H776H4714H5674H7130H1471H5674 17You have seen their detestable things, the filthy idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold, that were among them.H7200H8251H1544H6086H68H3701H2091 18It may be that there is among you a man or woman, or a family or tribe, whose heart is already turning away from the LORD our God to serve the gods of those nations. It may be that there is among you a root sprouting poisonous and bitter growth.H3426H376H802H4940H7626H3824H6437H3117H3068H430H3212H5647H430H1471H3426H8328H6509H7219H3939 19All who hear the words of this oath and bless themselves, thinking in their hearts, "We are safe even though we go our own stubborn ways" (thus bringing disaster on moist and dry alike)—H8085H1697H423H1288H3824H559H7965H3588H3212H8307H3820H5595H7302H6771 20the LORD will be unwilling to pardon them, for the LORD's anger and passion will smoke against them. All the curses written in this book will descend on them, and the LORD will blot out their names from under heaven.H3068H14H5545H639H3068H7068H6225H376H423H3789H5612H7257H3068H4229H8034H8064 21The LORD will single them out from all the tribes of Israel for calamity, in accordance with all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.H3068H914H7451H7626H3478H423H1285H3789H5612H8451 22The next generation, your children who rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who comes from a distant country, will see the devastation of that land and the afflictions with which the LORD has afflicted it—H1755H314H1121H6965H310H5237H935H7350H776H559H7200H4347H776H8463H3068H2470 23all its soil burned out by sulfur and salt, nothing planted, nothing sprouting, unable to support any vegetation, like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed in his fierce anger—H776H1614H4417H8316H2232H6779H6212H5927H4114H5467H6017H126H6636H3068H2015H639H2534 24they and indeed all the nations will wonder, "Why has the LORD done thus to this land? What caused this great display of anger?"H1471H559H3068H6213H776H2750H1419H639 25They will conclude, "It is because they abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.H559H5800H1285H3068H430H1H3772H3318H776H4714 26They turned and served other gods, worshiping them, gods whom they had not known and whom he had not allotted to them;H3212H5647H312H430H7812H430H3045H2505 27so the anger of the LORD was kindled against that land, bringing on it every curse written in this book.H639H3068H2734H776H935H7045H3789H5612 28The LORD uprooted them from their land in anger, fury, and great wrath, and cast them into another land, as is now the case."H3068H5428H127H639H2534H1419H7110H7993H312H776H3117 29The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and to our children forever, to observe all the words of this law.H5641H3068H430H1540H1121H5704H5769H6213H1697H8451
