14. Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;
15. but with him that standeth here with us this day before the Lord our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:
16. (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;
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 to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;
19. and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of mine heart, to destroy the moist with the dry:
20. the Lord will not pardon him, but then the anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
21. And the Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
