Moses Blesses Israel on the Plains of Moab

2Moses called all Israel together and said, You've seen with your own eyes everything that GOD did in Egypt to Pharaoh and his servants, and to the land itself—H4872H7121H3478H559H7200H3068H6213H5869H776H4714H6547H5650H776 3the massive trials to which you were eyewitnesses, the great signs and miracle-wonders.H1419H4531H5869H7200H226H1419H4159 4But GOD didn't give you an understanding heart or perceptive eyes or attentive ears until right now, this very day.H3068H5414H3820H3045H5869H7200H241H8085H3117 5I took you through the wilderness for forty years and through all that time the clothes on your backs didn't wear out, the sandals on your feet didn't wear out,H3212H705H8141H4057H8008H1086H5275H1086H7272 6and you lived well without bread and wine and beer, proving to you that I am in fact GOD, your God.H398H3899H8354H3196H7941H3045H3068H430 7When you arrived here in this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan met us primed for war but we beat them.H935H4725H5511H4428H2809H5747H4428H1316H3318H7125H4421H5221 8We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.H3947H776H5414H5159H7206H1425H2677H7626H4520 9Diligently keep the words of this Covenant. Do what they say so that you will live well and wisely in every detail.H8104H1697H1285H6213H7919H6213 10You are all standing here today in the Presence of GOD, your God—the heads of your tribes, your leaders, your officials, all Israel:H5324H3117H6440H3068H430H7218H7626H2205H7860H376H3478 11your babies, your wives, the resident foreigners in your camps who fetch your firewood and water—H2945H802H1616H7130H4264H2404H6086H7579H4325 12ready to cross over into the solemnly sworn Covenant that GOD, your God, is making with you today,H5674H1285H3068H430H423H3068H430H3772H3117 13the Covenant that this day confirms that you are his people and he is GOD, your God, just as he promised you and your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.H6965H3117H5971H430H1696H7650H1H85H3327H3290 14I'm not making this Covenant and its oath with you alone.H3772H1285H423 15I am making it with you who are standing here today in the Presence of GOD, our God, yes, but also with those who are not here today.H5975H3426H3117H6440H3068H430H3117 16You know the conditions in which we lived in Egypt and how we crisscrossed through nations in our travels.H3045H3427H776H4714H5674H7130H1471H5674 17You got an eyeful of their obscenities, their wood and stone, silver and gold junk-gods.H7200H8251H1544H6086H68H3701H2091 18Don't let down your guard lest even now, today, someone—man or woman, clan or tribe—gets sidetracked from GOD, our God, and gets involved with the no-gods of the nations; lest some poisonous weed sprout and spread among you,H3426H376H802H4940H7626H3824H6437H3117H3068H430H3212H5647H430H1471H3426H8328H6509H7219H3939 19a person who hears the words of the Covenant-oath but exempts himself, thinking, "I'll live just the way I please, thank you," and ends up ruining life for everybody.H8085H1697H423H1288H3824H559H7965H3588H3212H8307H3820H5595H7302H6771 20GOD won't let him off the hook. GOD's anger and jealousy will erupt like a volcano against that person. The curses written in this book will bury him. GOD will delete his name from the records.H3068H14H5545H639H3068H7068H6225H376H423H3789H5612H7257H3068H4229H8034H8064 21GOD will separate him out from all the tribes of Israel for special punishment, according to all the curses of the Covenant written in this Book of Revelation.H3068H914H7451H7626H3478H423H1285H3789H5612H8451 22The next generation, your children who come after you and the foreigner who comes from a far country, will be appalled when they see the widespread devastation, how GOD made the whole land sick.H1755H314H1121H6965H310H5237H935H7350H776H559H7200H4347H776H8463H3068H2470 23They'll see a fire-blackened wasteland of brimstone and salt flats, nothing planted, nothing growing, not so much as a blade of grass anywhere—like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which GOD overthrew in fiery rage.H776H1614H4417H8316H2232H6779H6212H5927H4114H5467H6017H126H6636H3068H2015H639H2534 24All the nations will ask, "Why did GOD do this to this country? What on earth could have made him this angry?"H1471H559H3068H6213H776H2750H1419H639 25Your children will answer, "Because they abandoned the Covenant of the GOD of their ancestors that he made with them after he got them out of Egypt;H559H5800H1285H3068H430H1H3772H3318H776H4714 26they went off and worshiped other gods, submitted to gods they'd never heard of before, gods they had no business dealing with.H3212H5647H312H430H7812H430H3045H2505 27So GOD's anger erupted against that land and all the curses written in this book came down on it.H639H3068H2734H776H935H7045H3789H5612 28GOD, furiously angry, pulled them, roots and all, out of their land and dumped them in another country, as you can see."H3068H5428H127H639H2534H1419H7110H7993H312H776H3117 29GOD, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation.H5641H3068H430H1540H1121H5704H5769H6213H1697H8451
