Deuteronomy 29:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ (for ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed by,

¹⁷ and ye have seen their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

¹⁸ lest there should be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God to go and serve the gods of these nations, lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,
