For to make thee 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 Abraham, Isaac and
Iacob. Also I make not this bond and this oath with you only: but
both with him that stoodeth here with us this day before the LORD
our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day. For
ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came
thorow the midst of the nations which we passed by. And ye have
seen their abominations and their idols: wood, stone, silver,
gold, which they had. Lest there be among you man or woman kindred
or tribe that turneth away in his heart this day from the LORD our
God, to go and serve the gods of these nations: and lest there be
among you some root {|rote|} that beareth gall and wormwood, so
that when he heareth the words of this curse, he bless himself in
his heart saying: I fear it not, {shall have peace} I will
therefore walk {work} after the lust of mine own heart, that the
drunken destroy {may perish with} the thirsty. And so the LORD
will not be merciful unto him, but then the wrath of the LORD and
his jealousy, smoke against that man, and all the curses that are
written in this book light upon him, and the LORD do out his name
from under heaven, and separate him unto evil out of all the
tribes of Israel according unto all the curses of the appointment
that is written in the book of this law.
