Deuteronomy 29 (WEBP)
[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.

Deuteronomy 29 (KJVS)
[1] These [are] the words H1697 of the covenant H1285, which the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 (8765) Moses H4872 to make H3772 (8800) with the children H1121 of Israel H3478 in the land H776 of Moab H4124, beside the covenant H1285 which he made H3772 (8804) with them in Horeb H2722.
[2] And Moses H4872 called H7121 (8799) unto all Israel H3478, and said H559 (8799) unto them, Ye have seen H7200 (8804) all that the LORD H3068 did H6213 (8804) before your eyes H5869 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 unto Pharaoh H6547, and unto all his servants H5650, and unto all his land H776;
[3] The great H1419 temptations H4531 which thine eyes H5869 have seen H7200 (8804), the signs H226, and those great H1419 miracles H4159:
[4] Yet the LORD H3068 hath not given H5414 (8804) you an heart H3820 to perceive H3045 (8800), and eyes H5869 to see H7200 (8800), and ears H241 to hear H8085 (8800), unto this day H3117.
[5] And I have led H3212 (8686) you forty H705 years H8141 in the wilderness H4057: your clothes H8008 are not waxen old H1086 (8804) upon you, and thy shoe H5275 is not waxen old H1086 (8804) upon thy foot H7272.
[6] Ye have not eaten H398 (8804) bread H3899, neither have ye drunk H8354 (8804) wine H3196 or strong drink H7941: that ye might know H3045 (8799) that I [am] the LORD H3068 your God H430.
[7] And when ye came H935 (8799) unto this place H4725, Sihon H5511 the king H4428 of Heshbon H2809, and Og H5747 the king H4428 of Bashan H1316, came out H3318 (8799) against H7125 (8800) us unto battle H4421, and we smote H5221 (8686) them:
[8] And we took H3947 (8799) their land H776, and gave H5414 (8799) it for an inheritance H5159 unto the Reubenites H7206, and to the Gadites H1425, and to the half H2677 tribe H7626 of Manasseh H4520.
[9] Keep H8104 (8804) therefore the words H1697 of this covenant H1285, and do H6213 (8804) them, that ye may prosper H7919 (8686) in all that ye do H6213 (8799).
[10] Ye stand H5324 (8737) this day H3117 all of you before H6440 the LORD H3068 your God H430; your captains H7218 of your tribes H7626, your elders H2205, and your officers H7860 (8802), [with] all the men H376 of Israel H3478,
[11] Your little ones H2945, your wives H802, and thy stranger H1616 that [is] in H7130 thy camp H4264, from the hewer H2404 (8802) of thy wood H6086 unto the drawer H7579 (8802) of thy water H4325:
[12] That thou shouldest enter H5674 (8800) into covenant H1285 with the LORD H3068 thy God H430, and into his oath H423, which the LORD H3068 thy God H430 maketh H3772 (8802) with thee this day H3117:
[13] That he may establish H6965 (8687) thee to day H3117 for a people H5971 unto himself, and [that] he may be unto thee a God H430, as he hath said H1696 (8765) unto thee, and as he hath sworn H7650 (8738) unto thy fathers H1, to Abraham H85, to Isaac H3327, and to Jacob H3290.
[14] Neither with you only do I make H3772 (8802) this covenant H1285 and this oath H423;
[15] But with [him] that standeth H5975 (8802) here with us this H3426 day H3117 before H6440 the LORD H3068 our God H430, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day H3117:
[16] (For ye know H3045 (8804) how we have dwelt H3427 (8804) in the land H776 of Egypt H4714; and how we came H5674 (8804) through H7130 the nations H1471 which ye passed by H5674 (8804);
[17] And ye have seen H7200 (8799) their abominations H8251, and their idols H1544, wood H6086 and stone H68, silver H3701 and gold H2091, which [were] among them:)
[18] Lest there should be H3426 among you man H376, or woman H802, or family H4940, or tribe H7626, whose heart H3824 turneth away H6437 (8802) this day H3117 from the LORD H3068 our God H430, to go H3212 (8800) [and] serve H5647 (8800) the gods H430 of these nations H1471; lest there should be H3426 among you a root H8328 that beareth H6509 (8802) gall H7219 and wormwood H3939;
[19] And it come to pass, when he heareth H8085 (8800) the words H1697 of this curse H423, that he bless H1288 (8694) himself in his heart H3824, saying H559 (8800), I shall have peace H7965, though H3588 I walk H3212 (8799) in the imagination H8307 of mine heart H3820, to add H5595 (8800) drunkenness H7302 to thirst H6771:
[20] The LORD H3068 will H14 (8799) not spare H5545 (8800) him, but then the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 and his jealousy H7068 shall smoke H6225 (8799) against that man H376, and all the curses H423 that are written H3789 (8803) in this book H5612 shall lie H7257 (8804) upon him, and the LORD H3068 shall blot out H4229 (8804) his name H8034 from under heaven H8064.
[21] And the LORD H3068 shall separate H914 (8689) him unto evil H7451 out of all the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478, according to all the curses H423 of the covenant H1285 that are written H3789 (8803) in this book H5612 of the law H8451:
[22] So that the generation H1755 to come H314 of your children H1121 that shall rise up H6965 (8799) after H310 you, and the stranger H5237 that shall come H935 (8799) from a far H7350 land H776, shall say H559 (8804), when they see H7200 (8804) the plagues H4347 of that land H776, and the sicknesses H8463 which the LORD H3068 hath laid H2470 (8765) upon it;
[23] [And that] the whole land H776 thereof [is] brimstone H1614, and salt H4417, [and] burning H8316, [that] it is not sown H2232 (8735), nor beareth H6779 (8686), nor any grass H6212 groweth H5927 (8799) therein, like the overthrow H4114 of Sodom H5467, and Gomorrah H6017, Admah H126, and Zeboim H6636, which the LORD H3068 overthrew H2015 (8804) in his anger H639, and in his wrath H2534:
[24] Even all nations H1471 shall say H559 (8804), Wherefore hath the LORD H3068 done H6213 (8804) thus unto this land H776? what [meaneth] the heat H2750 of this great H1419 anger H639?
[25] Then men shall say H559 (8804), Because they have forsaken H5800 (8804) the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of their fathers H1, which he made H3772 (8804) with them when he brought them forth H3318 (8687) out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714:
[26] For they went H3212 (8799) and served H5647 (8799) other H312 gods H430, and worshipped H7812 (8691) them, gods H430 whom they knew H3045 (8804) not, and [whom] he had not given H2505 (8804) unto them:
[27] And the anger H639 of the LORD H3068 was kindled H2734 (8799) against this land H776, to bring H935 (8687) upon it all the curses H7045 that are written H3789 (8803) in this book H5612:
[28] And the LORD H3068 rooted H5428 (8799) them out of their land H127 in anger H639, and in wrath H2534, and in great H1419 indignation H7110, and cast H7993 (8686) them into another H312 land H776, as [it is] this day H3117.
[29] The secret H5641 (8737) [things belong] unto the LORD H3068 our God H430: but those [things which are] revealed H1540 (8737) [belong] unto us and to our children H1121 for H5704 ever H5769, that [we] may do H6213 (8800) all the words H1697 of this law H8451.
Young’s Literal Translation
Deuteronomy 29 (YLT)
[1] These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.
[2] And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, ‘Ye-ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;
[3] the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;
[4] and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,
[5] and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;
[6] bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I am Jehovah your God.
[7] ‘And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon-also Og king of Bashan-doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,
[8] and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh;
[9] and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.
[10] ‘Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your God-your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your authorities-every man of Israel;
[11] your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water-
[12] for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee to-day;
[13] in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
[14] ‘And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;
[15] but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,
[16] for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;
[17] and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are with them,
[18] lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:
[19] ‘And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.
[20] Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,
[21] and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.
[22] ‘And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it,-
[23] (with brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,)-
[24] yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?
[25] ‘And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,
[26] and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them-gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;
[27] and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,
[28] and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as at this day.
[29] ‘The things hidden are to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed are to us and to our sons-to the age, to do all the words of this law.
