Deuteronomy 29
New English Translation

Narrative Interlude

29 (28:69)[a] These are the words of the covenant that the Lord commanded Moses to make with the people of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.[b]

The Exodus, Wandering, and Conquest Reviewed

2 Moses proclaimed to all Israel as follows: “You have seen all that the Lord did[c] in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, all his servants, and his land. 3 Your eyes have seen the great judgments,[d] those signs and mighty wonders. 4 But to this very day the Lord has not given you an understanding mind, perceptive eyes, or discerning ears![e] 5 I have led you through the wilderness for forty years. Your clothing has not worn out[f] nor have your sandals[g] deteriorated. 6 You have eaten no bread and drunk no wine or beer—all so that you might know that I[h] am the Lord your God! 7 When you came to this place King Sihon of Heshbon and King Og of Bashan came out to make war and we defeated them. 8 Then we took their land and gave it as an inheritance to Reuben, Gad, and half the tribe of Manasseh.

The Present Covenant Setting

9 “Therefore, keep the terms[i] of this covenant and obey them so that you may be successful in everything you do. 10 You are standing today, all of you, before the Lord your God—the heads of your tribes,[j] your elders, your officials, every Israelite man, 11 your infants, your wives, and the[k] resident foreigners[l] living in your encampment, those who chop wood and those who carry water— 12 so that you may enter by oath into the covenant the Lord your God is making with you today.[m] 13 Today he will affirm that you are his people and that he is your God,[n] just as he promised you and as he swore by oath to your ancestors[o] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 14 It is not with you alone that I am making this covenant by oath, 15 but with whoever stands with us here today before the Lord our God as well as those not with us here today.[p]

The Results of Disobedience

16 “(For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we crossed through the nations as we traveled. 17 You have seen their detestable things[q] and idols of wood, stone, silver, and gold.)[r] 18 Beware that the heart of no man, woman, clan, or tribe among you turns away from the Lord our God today to pursue and serve the gods of those nations; beware that there is among you no root producing poisonous and bitter fruit.[s] 19 When such a person[t] hears the words of this oath he secretly[u] blesses himself[v] and says, ‘I will have peace though I continue to walk with a stubborn spirit.’[w] This will destroy[x] the watered ground with the parched.[y] 20 The Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger[z] will rage[aa] against that man; all the curses[ab] written in this scroll will fall upon him,[ac] and the Lord will obliterate his name from memory.[ad] 21 The Lord will single him out[ae] for judgment[af] from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law. 22 The generation to come—your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places—will see[ag] the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the Lord has brought on it. 23 The whole land will be covered with brimstone, salt, and burning debris; it will not be planted nor will it sprout or produce grass. It will resemble the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord destroyed in his intense anger.[ah] 24 Then all the nations will ask, ‘Why has the Lord done all this to this land? What is this fierce, heated display of anger[ai] all about?’ 25 Then people will say, ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, which he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt. 26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.[aj] 27 That is why the Lord’s anger erupted against this land, bringing on it all the curses[ak] written in this scroll. 28 So the Lord has uprooted them from their land in anger, wrath, and great rage and has deported them to another land, as is clear today.’ 29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those that are revealed belong to us and our descendants[al] forever, so that we might obey all the words of this law.

Footnotes

  1. Deuteronomy 29:1 sn Beginning with 29:1, the verse numbers through 29:29 in the English Bible differ from the verse numbers in the Hebrew text (BHS), with 29:1 ET = 28:69 HT, 29:2 ET = 29:1 HT, 29:3 ET = 29:2 HT, etc., through 29:29 ET = 29:28 HT. With 30:1 the verse numbers in the ET and HT are again the same.
  2. Deuteronomy 29:1 sn Horeb is another name for Mount Sinai (which some English versions substitute here for clarity, cf. NCV, TEV, CEV, NLT).
  3. Deuteronomy 29:2 tn The Hebrew text includes “to your eyes,” but this is redundant in English style (cf. the preceding “you have seen”) and is omitted in the translation.
  4. Deuteronomy 29:3 tn Heb “testings.” This is a reference to the plagues; see note at 4:34.
  5. Deuteronomy 29:4 tn Heb “a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear” (NASB similar); NAB, NRSV “a mind to understand, or eyes to see, or ears to hear.”
  6. Deuteronomy 29:5 tn The Hebrew text includes “on you.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  7. Deuteronomy 29:5 tn The Hebrew text includes “from on your feet.”
  8. Deuteronomy 29:6 tc The LXX reads “that he is the Lord your God.”
  9. Deuteronomy 29:9 tn Heb “words.”
  10. Deuteronomy 29:10 tc Heb “your heads, your tribes.” The Syriac presupposes either “heads of your tribes” or “your heads, your judges,” etc. (reading שֹׁפְטֵכֶם [shofetekhem] for שִׁבְטֵיכֶם [shivtekhem]). Its comparative difficulty favors the originality of the MT reading. Cf. KJV “your captains of your tribes”; NRSV “the leaders of your tribes”; NLT “your tribal leaders.”
  11. Deuteronomy 29:11 tn Heb “your.”
  12. Deuteronomy 29:11 sn The ger (גֵּר) “foreign resident” here enters into the covenant with the community if Israel. Elsewhere in Mosaic Law the ger make sacrifices to the Lord (Lev 17:8; 22:18; Num 15:14) and participate in Israel’s religious festivals: Passover Exod 12:48; Day of Atonement Lev 16:29; Feast of Weeks Deut 16:10-14; Feast of Tabernacles/Temporary Shelters Deut 31:12. Several passages emphasize equal standing under Mosaic Law (Exod 12:49; Lev 24:22; Num 9:14; 15:15, 16, 26, 29; 19:10; 35:15; Deut 1:16 or similar obligations Exod 20:10; 23:12; Lev 16:29; 17:10, 12, 13; 18:26; 24:16; Num 15:14. In many respects these ger (גֵּר) appear to be naturalized citizens who could not own land (land was allotted by tribe).
  13. Deuteronomy 29:12 tn Heb “for you to pass on into the covenant of the Lord your God and into his oath, which the Lord your God is cutting with you today.”
  14. Deuteronomy 29:13 tn Heb “in order to establish you today to him for a people and he will be to you for God.” Verses 10-13 are one long sentence in Hebrew. The translation divides this into two sentences for stylistic reasons.
  15. Deuteronomy 29:13 tn Heb “fathers” (also in v. 25).
  16. Deuteronomy 29:15 tn This is interpreted by some English versions as a reference to generations not yet born (cf. TEV, CEV, NLT).
  17. Deuteronomy 29:17 tn The Hebrew term שִׁקּוּץ (shiqquts) refers to anything out of keeping with the nature and character of Yahweh and therefore to be avoided by his people Israel. It is commonly used with or as a synonym for תּוֹעֵבָה (toʿevah, “detestable, abhorrent”; 2 Kgs 23:13; Jer 16:18; Ezek 5:11; 7:20; 11:18, 21; see note on the term “abhorrent” in Deut 7:25). See M. Grisanti, NIDOTTE 4:243-46.
  18. Deuteronomy 29:17 tn The Hebrew text includes “which were with them.” Verses 16-17 constitute a parenthetical comment.
  19. Deuteronomy 29:18 tn Heb “yielding fruit poisonous and wormwood.” The Hebrew noun לַעֲנָה (laʿanah) literally means “wormwood” (so KJV, ASV, NAB, NASB), but is used figuratively for anything extremely bitter, thus here “fruit poisonous and bitter.”
  20. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Heb “he”; the referent (the subject of the warning in v. 18) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  21. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Heb “in his heart.”
  22. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Or “invokes a blessing on himself.” A formalized word of blessing is in view, the content of which appears later in the verse.
  23. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Heb “heart.”
  24. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Heb “thus destroying.” For stylistic reasons the translation begins a new sentence here.
  25. Deuteronomy 29:19 tn Heb “the watered with the parched.” The word “ground” is implied. The exact meaning of the phrase is uncertain although it appears to be figurative. This appears to be a proverbial observation employing a figure of speech (a merism) suggesting totality. That is, the Israelite who violates the letter and even spirit of the covenant will harm not only himself but everything he touches—“the watered and the parched.” Cf. CEV “you will cause the rest of Israel to be punished along with you.”
  26. Deuteronomy 29:20 tn Heb “the wrath of the Lord and his zeal.” The expression is a hendiadys, a figure in which the second noun becomes adjectival to the first.
  27. Deuteronomy 29:20 tn Heb “smoke,” or “smolder.”
  28. Deuteronomy 29:20 tn Heb “the entire oath.”
  29. Deuteronomy 29:20 tn Or “will lie in wait against him.”
  30. Deuteronomy 29:20 tn Heb “blot out his name from under the sky.”
  31. Deuteronomy 29:21 tn Heb “set him apart.”
  32. Deuteronomy 29:21 tn Heb “for evil”; NAB “for doom”; NASB “for adversity”; NIV “for disaster”; NRSV “for calamity.”
  33. Deuteronomy 29:22 tn Heb “will say and see.” One expects a quotation to appear, but it seems to be omitted. To avoid confusion in the translation, the verb “will say” is omitted.
  34. Deuteronomy 29:23 tn Heb “the anger and the wrath.” This construction is a hendiadys intended to intensify the emotion.
  35. Deuteronomy 29:24 tn Heb “this great burning of anger”; KJV “the heat of this great anger.”
  36. Deuteronomy 29:26 tn Heb “did not assign to them”; NASB, NRSV “had not allotted to them.”
  37. Deuteronomy 29:27 tn Heb “the entire curse.”
  38. Deuteronomy 29:29 tn Heb “sons” (so NASB); KJV, ASV, NIV, NRSV “children.”

Chinese New Version (Traditional)

重申立約之言

29 這些是耶和華在摩押地，吩咐摩西與以色列人所立的約的話，是耶和華和他們在何烈山所立的約以外的。（本節在《馬索拉文本》為28:69）

2 摩西把以色列眾人召了來，對他們說：“耶和華在埃及地，在你們面前，向法老和他的眾臣僕，以及他的全國所行的一切，你們都看見了，（本節在《馬索拉文本》為29:1） 3 就是你親眼見過的大試驗和神蹟，以及那些大奇事； 4 但是直到今日，耶和華還沒有給你們一顆能明白的心，能看見的眼睛，能聽見的耳朵。 5 我在曠野四十年之久領導你們；你們身上的衣服沒有穿破，腳上的鞋也沒有穿壞。 6 飯你們沒有吃，清酒或烈酒你們沒有喝，這是要使你們知道耶和華是你們的　神。 7 你們來到了這地方，希實本王西宏和巴珊王噩就出來，與我們交戰，我們擊敗了他們。 8 奪取了他們的地，分給流本人、迦得人和瑪拿西半個支派作產業。 9 所以你們要謹守這約的話，並且遵行，好使你們在所行的一切事上都亨通。

10 “今日你們全都站在耶和華你們的　神面前；你們的首領、族長、長老、官長和以色列所有的男子， 11 你們的小孩、妻子和在你營中的寄居者，以及為你們劈柴挑水的人，都站在耶和華你們的　神面前， 12 為要叫你遵守耶和華你的　神今日與你所立的約，和他向你所起的誓； 13 這樣，他今日可以立你作他的子民，他可以作你的　神，正如他曾經對你說過的，又對你的列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各起過誓的。

14 “我不但與你們立這約，起這誓； 15 而且也與那些今日和我們在這裡，一同站在耶和華我們的　神面前的人，以及那些今日不與我們同在這裡的人立這約，起這誓。 16 你們清楚知道我們怎樣在埃及地住過，怎樣從列國中經過； 17 你們也見過他們的可憎之物，和他們那裡那些木、石、金、銀的偶像。 18 恐怕你們中間有男人或女人，家族或支派，今日心裡偏離了耶和華我們的　神，去事奉那些國的神，又恐怕你們中間有惡根，生出毒草和苦堇來； 19 如果人聽了這咒詛的話，心裡仍然自誇說：‘我雖然照著頑梗的心而行，使好人和惡人一起滅亡，我還有平安。’ 20 耶和華必不肯饒恕他；耶和華的怒氣和憤恨必向這人發作，這書上所寫的一切咒詛都要降在那人身上，耶和華也必從天下塗抹他的名。 21 耶和華必照著寫在這律法書上的約的一切咒詛，把他從以色列眾支派中分別出來，使他遭受災禍。

22 “後代的人，就是你們以後興起來的子孫，和從遠方來的外族人，看見了這地的災難和耶和華降與這地的疾病， 23 又看見了遍地有硫磺，有鹽鹵，有火燒，沒有播種，沒有出產，寸草不生，好像耶和華在烈怒和怒火中毀滅的所多瑪、蛾摩拉、押瑪、洗扁一樣， 24 看見了這些的人和萬國的人都要問：‘耶和華為甚麼向這地這樣行呢？為甚麼大發烈怒呢？’ 25 人就必回答：‘是因為他們離棄了耶和華他們列祖的　神的約，就是耶和華把他們從埃及地領出來的時候，與他們所立的； 26 去事奉別的神，向他們叩拜，就是他們不認識的神，也是耶和華沒有給他們指定要拜的神； 27 所以耶和華向這地大發烈怒，把這書上所寫的一切咒詛都降在這地上； 28 於是耶和華在烈怒、忿怒和大怒中，把他們從他們的地土拔出來，丟在別的地方，像今天一樣。’

29 “奧祕的事，是屬於耶和華我們的　神的，只有顯露的事，是永遠屬於我們和我們子孫的，好叫我們遵行這律法上的一切話。”

Renewal of the Covenant

29 [a]These are the terms of the covenant the Lord commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in Moab,(A) in addition to the covenant he had made with them at Horeb.(B)

2 Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them:

Your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land.(C) 3 With your own eyes you saw those great trials, those signs and great wonders.(D) 4 But to this day the Lord has not given you a mind that understands or eyes that see or ears that hear.(E) 5 Yet the Lord says, “During the forty years that I led(F) you through the wilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your feet.(G) 6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink.(H) I did this so that you might know that I am the Lord your God.”(I)

7 When you reached this place, Sihon(J) king of Heshbon(K) and Og king of Bashan came out to fight against us, but we defeated them.(L) 8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance(M) to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh.(N)

9 Carefully follow(O) the terms of this covenant,(P) so that you may prosper in everything you do.(Q) 10 All of you are standing today in the presence of the Lord your God—your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel, 11 together with your children and your wives, and the foreigners living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water.(R) 12 You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the Lord your God, a covenant the Lord is making with you this day and sealing with an oath, 13 to confirm you this day as his people,(S) that he may be your God(T) as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 14 I am making this covenant,(U) with its oath, not only with you 15 who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God but also with those who are not here today.(V)

16 You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here. 17 You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.(W) 18 Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns(X) away from the Lord our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.(Y)

19 When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing(Z) on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,”(AA) they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry. 20 The Lord will never be willing to forgive(AB) them; his wrath and zeal(AC) will burn(AD) against them. All the curses written in this book will fall on them, and the Lord will blot(AE) out their names from under heaven. 21 The Lord will single them out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster,(AF) according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.(AG)

22 Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the Lord has afflicted it.(AH) 23 The whole land will be a burning waste(AI) of salt(AJ) and sulfur—nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah,(AK) Admah and Zeboyim, which the Lord overthrew in fierce anger.(AL) 24 All the nations will ask: “Why has the Lord done this to this land?(AM) Why this fierce, burning anger?”

25 And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the Lord, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.(AN) 26 They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them. 27 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book.(AO) 28 In furious anger and in great wrath(AP) the Lord uprooted(AQ) them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now.”

29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God,(AR) but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.(AS)

The Covenant Renewed in Moab

29 These are the words of the covenant which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the (A)covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

2 Now Moses called all Israel and said to them: (B)“You have seen all that the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land— 3 (C)the great trials which your eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders. 4 Yet (D)the Lord has not given you a heart to [a]perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day. 5 (E)And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. (F)Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. 6 (G)You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the Lord your God. 7 And when you came to this place, (H)Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we conquered them. 8 We took their land and (I)gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh. 9 Therefore (J)keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may (K)prosper in all that you do.

10 “All of you stand today before the Lord your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel, 11 your little ones and your wives—also the stranger who is in your camp, from (L)the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water— 12 that you may enter into covenant with the Lord your God, and (M)into His oath, which the Lord your God makes with you today, 13 that He may (N)establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, (O)just as He has spoken to you, and (P)just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 “I make this covenant and this oath, (Q)not with you alone, 15 but with him who stands here with us today before the Lord our God, (R)as well as with him who is not here with us today 16 (for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by, 17 and you saw their [b]abominations and their idols which were among them—wood and stone and silver and gold); 18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, (S)whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, (T)and that there may not be among you a root bearing (U)bitterness or wormwood; 19 and so it may not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, even though I [c]follow the (V)dictates of my heart’—(W)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.

20 (X)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (Y)the anger of the Lord and (Z)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (AA)would blot out his name from under heaven. 21 And the Lord (AB)would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the (AC)Law, 22 so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they (AD)see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the Lord has laid on it:

23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, (AE)salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, (AF)like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, (AG)‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, (AH)to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord (AI)uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’

29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

申 命 記 29
Chinese Union Version (Traditional)

29 這 是 耶 和 華 在 摩 押 地 吩 咐 摩 西 與 以 色 列 人 立 約 的 話 ， 是 在 他 和 他 們 於 何 烈 山 所 立 的 約 之 外 。

2 摩 西 召 了 以 色 列 眾 人 來 ， 對 他 們 說 ： 耶 和 華 在 埃 及 地 ， 在 你 們 眼 前 向 法 老 和 他 眾 臣 僕 ， 並 他 全 地 所 行 的 一 切 事 ， 你 們 都 看 見 了 ，

3 就 是 你 親 眼 看 見 的 大 試 驗 和 神 蹟 ， 並 那 些 大 奇 事 。

4 但 耶 和 華 到 今 日 沒 有 使 你 們 心 能 明 白 ， 眼 能 看 見 ， 耳 能 聽 見 。

5 我 領 你 們 在 曠 野 四 十 年 ， 你 們 身 上 的 衣 服 並 沒 有 穿 破 ， 腳 上 的 鞋 也 沒 有 穿 壞 。

6 你 們 沒 有 吃 餅 ， 也 沒 有 喝 清 酒 濃 酒 。 這 要 使 你 們 知 道 ， 耶 和 華 是 你 們 的 神 。

7 你 們 來 到 這 地 方 ， 希 實 本 王 西 宏 、 巴 珊 王 噩 都 出 來 與 我 們 交 戰 ， 我 們 就 擊 殺 了 他 們 ，

8 取 了 他 們 的 地 給 流 便 支 派 、 迦 得 支 派 ， 和 瑪 拿 西 半 支 派 為 業 。

9 所 以 你 們 要 謹 守 遵 行 這 約 的 話 ， 好 叫 你 們 在 一 切 所 行 的 事 上 亨 通 。

10 今 日 ， 你 們 的 首 領 、 族 長 （ 原 文 作 支 派 ） 、 長 老 、 官 長 、 以 色 列 的 男 丁 ， 你 們 的 妻 子 兒 女 ， 和 營 中 寄 居 的 ， 以 及 為 你 們 劈 柴 挑 水 的 人 ， 都 站 在 耶 和 華 ─ 你 們 的 神 面 前 ，

11 a

12 為 要 你 順 從 耶 和 華 ─ 你 神 今 日 與 你 所 立 的 約 ， 向 你 所 起 的 誓 。

13 這 樣 ， 他 要 照 他 向 你 所 應 許 的 話 ， 又 向 你 列 祖 亞 伯 拉 罕 、 以 撒 、 雅 各 所 起 的 誓 ， 今 日 立 你 作 他 的 子 民 ， 他 作 你 的 神 。 這 樣 ， 他 要 照 他 向 你 所 應 許 的 話 ， 又 向 你 列 祖 亞 伯 拉 罕 、 以 撒 、 雅 各 所 起 的 誓 ， 今 日 立 你 作 他 的 子 民 ， 他 作 你 的 神 。

14 我 不 但 與 你 們 立 這 約 ， 起 這 誓 ，

15 凡 與 我 們 一 同 站 在 耶 和 華 ─ 我 們 神 面 前 的 ， 並 今 日 不 在 我 們 這 裡 的 人 ， 我 也 與 他 們 立 這 約 ， 起 這 誓 。

16 我 們 曾 住 過 埃 及 地 ， 也 從 列 國 經 過 ； 這 是 你 們 知 道 的 。

17 你 們 也 看 見 他 們 中 間 可 憎 之 物 ， 並 他 們 木 、 石 、 金 、 銀 的 偶 像 。

18 惟 恐 你 們 中 間 ， 或 男 或 女 ， 或 族 長 或 支 派 長 ， 今 日 心 裡 偏 離 耶 和 華 ─ 我 們 的 神 ， 去 事 奉 那 些 國 的 神 ； 又 怕 你 們 中 間 有 惡 根 生 出 苦 菜 和 茵 蔯 來 ，

19 聽 見 這 咒 詛 的 話 ， 心 裡 仍 是 自 誇 說 ： 我 雖 然 行 事 心 裡 頑 梗 ， 連 累 眾 人 ， 卻 還 是 平 安 。

20 耶 和 華 必 不 饒 恕 他 ； 耶 和 華 的 怒 氣 與 憤 恨 要 向 他 發 作 ， 如 煙 冒 出 ， 將 這 書 上 所 寫 的 一 切 咒 詛 都 加 在 他 身 上 。 耶 和 華 又 要 從 天 下 塗 抹 他 的 名 ，

21 也 必 照 著 寫 在 律 法 書 上 、 約 中 的 一 切 咒 詛 將 他 從 以 色 列 眾 支 派 中 分 別 出 來 ， 使 他 受 禍 。

22 你 們 的 後 代 ， 就 是 以 後 興 起 來 的 子 孫 ， 和 遠 方 來 的 外 人 ， 看 見 這 地 的 災 殃 ， 並 耶 和 華 所 降 與 這 地 的 疾 病 ，

23 又 看 見 遍 地 有 硫 磺 ， 有 鹽 鹵 ， 有 火 跡 ， 沒 有 耕 種 ， 沒 有 出 產 ， 連 草 都 不 生 長 ─ 好 像 耶 和 華 在 忿 怒 中 所 傾 覆 的 所 多 瑪 、 蛾 摩 拉 、 押 瑪 、 洗 扁 一 樣 ─

24 所 看 見 的 人 ， 連 萬 國 人 ， 都 必 問 說 ： 耶 和 華 為 何 向 此 地 這 樣 行 呢 ？ 這 樣 大 發 烈 怒 是 甚 麼 意 思 呢 ？

25 人 必 回 答 說 ： 是 因 這 地 的 人 離 棄 了 耶 和 華 ─ 他 們 列 祖 的 神 ， 領 他 們 出 埃 及 地 的 時 候 與 他 們 所 立 的 約 ，

26 去 事 奉 敬 拜 素 不 認 識 的 別 神 ， 是 耶 和 華 所 未 曾 給 他 們 安 排 的 。

27 所 以 耶 和 華 的 怒 氣 向 這 地 發 作 ， 將 這 書 上 所 寫 的 一 切 咒 詛 都 降 在 這 地 上 。

28 耶 和 華 在 怒 氣 、 忿 怒 、 大 惱 恨 中 將 他 們 從 本 地 拔 出 來 ， 扔 在 別 的 地 上 ， 像 今 日 一 樣 。

29 隱 祕 的 事 是 屬 耶 和 華 ─ 我 們 神 的 ； 惟 有 明 顯 的 事 是 永 遠 屬 我 們 和 我 們 子 孫 的 ， 好 叫 我 們 遵 行 這 律 法 上 的 一 切 話 。
