^[1] These are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. ^[2] Moses called to all Israel, and said to them:Your eyes have seen all that Yahweh did in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land; ^[3] the great trials which your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders. ^[4] But Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day. ^[5] I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old on you, and your sandals have not grown old on your feet. ^[6] You have not eaten bread, neither have you drunk wine or strong drink, that you may know that I am Yahweh your God. ^[7] When you came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck them. ^[8] We took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites. ^[9] Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do. ^[10] All of you stand today in the presence of Yahweh your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel, ^[11] your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners who are in the middle of your camps, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, ^[12] that you may enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God, and into his oath, which Yahweh your God makes with you today, ^[13] that he may establish you today as his people, and that he may be your God, as he spoke to you and as he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. ^[14] Neither do I make this covenant and this oath with you only, ^[15] but with those who stand here with us today before Yahweh our God, and also with those who are not here with us today ^[16] (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the middle of the nations through which you passed; ^[17] and you have seen their abominations and their idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold, which were among them); ^[18] lest there should be among you man, woman, family, or tribe whose heart turns away today from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that produces bitter poison; ^[19] and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, “I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,” to destroy the moist with the dry. ^[20] Yahweh will not pardon him, but then Yahweh’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky. ^[21] Yahweh will set him apart for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law. ^[22] The generation to come—your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who will come from a far land—will say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick, ^[23] that all of its land is sulfur, salt, and burning, that it is not sown, doesn’t produce, nor does any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath. ^[24] Even all the nations will say, “Why has Yahweh done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?” ^[25] Then men will say, “Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt, ^[26] and went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know and that he had not given to them. ^[27] Therefore Yahweh’s anger burned against this land, to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book. ^[28] Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and thrust them into another land, as it is today.” ^[29] The secret things belong to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

King James Version

^[1] These [are] the wordsH1697 of the covenant,H1285 which the LordH3068 commandedH6680(PielPerf) MosesH4872 to makeH3772(QalInf) with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 in the landH776 of Moab,H4124 beside the covenantH1285 which he madeH3772(QalPerf) with them in Horeb.H2722 ^[2] And MosesH4872 calledH7121(QalImpf) unto all Israel,H3478 and saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, Ye have seenH7200(QalPerf) all that the LordH3068 didH6213(QalPerf) before your eyesH5869 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714 unto Pharaoh,H6547 and unto all his servants,H5650 and unto all his land;H776 ^[3] The greatH1419 temptationsH4531 which thine eyesH5869 have seen,H7200(QalPerf) the signs,H226 and those greatH1419 miracles:H4159 ^[4] Yet the LordH3068 hath not givenH5414(QalPerf) you an heartH3820 to perceive,H3045(QalInf) and eyesH5869 to see,H7200(QalInf) and earsH241 to hear,H8085(QalInf) unto this day.H3117 ^[5] And I have ledH3212(HiphImpf) you fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wilderness:H4057 your clothesH8008 are not waxen oldH1086(QalPerf) upon you, and thy shoeH5275 is not waxen oldH1086(QalPerf) upon thy foot.H7272 ^[6] Ye have not eatenH398(QalPerf) bread,H3899 neither have ye drunkH8354(QalPerf) wineH3196 or strong drink:H7941 that ye might knowH3045(QalImpf) that I [am] the LordH3068 your God.H430 ^[7] And when ye cameH935(QalImpf) unto this place,H4725 SihonH5511 the kingH4428 of Heshbon,H2809 and OgH5747 the kingH4428 of Bashan,H1316 came outH3318(QalImpf) againstH7125(QalInf) us unto battle,H4421 and we smoteH5221(HiphImpf) them: ^[8] And we tookH3947(QalImpf) their land,H776 and gaveH5414(QalImpf) it for an inheritanceH5159 unto the Reubenites,H7206 and to the Gadites,H1425 and to the halfH2677 tribeH7626 of Manasseh.H4520 ^[9] KeepH8104(QalPerf) therefore the wordsH1697 of this covenant,H1285 and doH6213(QalPerf) them, that ye may prosperH7919(HiphImpf) in all that ye do.H6213(QalImpf) ^[10] Ye standH5324(NiphPtc) this dayH3117 all of you beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your God;H430 your captainsH7218 of your tribes,H7626 your elders,H2205 and your officers,H7860(QalActPtc) [with] all the menH376 of Israel,H3478 ^[11] Your little ones,H2945 your wives,H802 and thy strangerH1616 that [is] inH7130 thy camp,H4264 from the hewerH2404(QalActPtc) of thy woodH6086 unto the drawerH7579(QalActPtc) of thy water:H4325 ^[12] That thou shouldest enterH5674(QalInf) into covenantH1285 with the LordH3068 thy God,H430 and into his oath,H423 which the LordH3068 thy GodH430 makethH3772(QalActPtc) with thee this day:H3117 ^[13] That he may establishH6965(HiphInf) thee to dayH3117 for a peopleH5971 unto himself, and [that] he may be unto thee a God,H430 as he hath saidH1696(PielPerf) unto thee, and as he hath swornH7650(NiphPerf) unto thy fathers,H1 to Abraham,H85 to Isaac,H3327 and to Jacob.H3290 ^[14] Neither with you only do I makeH3772(QalActPtc) this covenantH1285 and this oath;H423 ^[15] But with [him] that standethH5975(QalActPtc) here with us thisH3426 dayH3117 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 our God,H430 and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:H3117 ^[16] (For ye knowH3045(QalPerf) how we have dweltH3427(QalPerf) in the landH776 of Egypt;H4714 and how we cameH5674(QalPerf) throughH7130 the nationsH1471 which ye passed by;H5674(QalPerf) ^[17] And ye have seenH7200(QalImpf) their abominations,H8251 and their idols,H1544 woodH6086 and stone,H68 silverH3701 and gold,H2091 which [were] among them:) ^[18] Lest there should beH3426 among you man,H376 or woman,H802 or family,H4940 or tribe,H7626 whose heartH3824 turneth awayH6437(QalActPtc) this dayH3117 from the LordH3068 our God,H430 to goH3212(QalInf) [and] serveH5647(QalInf) the godsH430 of these nations;H1471 lest there should beH3426 among you a rootH8328 that bearethH6509(QalActPtc) gallH7219 and wormwood;H3939 ^[19] And it come to pass, when he hearethH8085(QalInf) the wordsH1697 of this curse,H423 that he blessH1288(HithPerf) himself in his heart,H3824 saying,H559(QalInf) I shall have peace,H7965 thoughH3588 I walkH3212(QalImpf) in the imaginationH8307 of mine heart,H3820 to addH5595(QalInf) drunkennessH7302 to thirst:H6771 ^[20] The LordH3068 willH14(QalImpf) not spareH5545(QalInf) him, but then the angerH639 of the LordH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225(QalImpf) against that man,H376 and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257(QalPerf) upon him, and the LordH3068 shall blot outH4229(QalPerf) his nameH8034 from under heaven.H8064 ^[21] And the LordH3068 shall separateH914(HiphPerf) him unto evilH7451 out of all the tribesH7626 of Israel,H3478 according to all the cursesH423 of the covenantH1285 that are writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) in this bookH5612 of the law:H8451 ^[22] So that the generationH1755 to comeH314 of your childrenH1121 that shall rise upH6965(QalImpf) afterH310 you, and the strangerH5237 that shall comeH935(QalImpf) from a farH7350 land,H776 shall say,H559(QalPerf) when they seeH7200(QalPerf) the plaguesH4347 of that land,H776 and the sicknessesH8463 which the LordH3068 hath laidH2470(PielPerf) upon it; ^[23] [And that] the whole landH776 thereof [is] brimstone,H1614 and salt,H4417 [and] burning,H8316 [that] it is not sown,H2232(NiphImpf) nor beareth,H6779(HiphImpf) nor any grassH6212 growethH5927(QalImpf) therein, like the overthrowH4114 of Sodom,H5467 and Gomorrah,H6017 Admah,H126 and Zeboim,H6636 which the LordH3068 overthrewH2015(QalPerf) in his anger,H639 and in his wrath:H2534 ^[24] Even all nationsH1471 shall say,H559(QalPerf) Wherefore hath the LordH3068 doneH6213(QalPerf) thus unto this land?H776 what [meaneth] the heatH2750 of this greatH1419 anger?H639 ^[25] Then men shall say,H559(QalPerf) Because they have forsakenH5800(QalPerf) the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 GodH430 of their fathers,H1 which he madeH3772(QalPerf) with them when he brought them forthH3318(HiphInf) out of the landH776 of Egypt:H4714 ^[26] For they wentH3212(QalImpf) and servedH5647(QalImpf) otherH312 gods,H430 and worshippedH7812(HithImpf) them, godsH430 whom they knewH3045(QalPerf) not, and [whom] he had not givenH2505(QalPerf) unto them: ^[27] And the angerH639 of the LordH3068 was kindledH2734(QalImpf) against this land,H776 to bringH935(HiphInf) upon it all the cursesH7045 that are writtenH3789(QalPasPtc) in this book:H5612 ^[28] And the LordH3068 rootedH5428(QalImpf) them out of their landH127 in anger,H639 and in wrath,H2534 and in greatH1419 indignation,H7110 and castH7993(HiphImpf) them into anotherH312 land,H776 as [it is] this day.H3117 ^[29] The secretH5641(NiphPtc) [things belong] unto the LordH3068 our God:H430 but those [things which are] revealedH1540(NiphPtc) [belong] unto us and to our childrenH1121 forH5704 ever,H5769 that [we] may doH6213(QalInf) all the wordsH1697 of this law.H8451
