sons, 55. To give any of them of the flesh of his sons, which he eateth, because there is nothing left him of all that he hath, in anguish and distress; that thine enemy may compass thee about in all thy gates.

A woman among you that hath before lived tenderly and in lusts, that she hath not sought to set the sole of her foot upon the earth for tenderness and for lust, she shall grant to the man in her arms, and to her son, and to her daughter

the afterbirth, which is gone out between her own legs, and her sons which she bare: for they shall eat them in secret from all want, in anguish and distress, that thine enemy may throng thee within thy gates.

Wherefore thou shalt not keep all the words of this law, which are written in this book, to fear that glorious and terrible name, the LORD thy God,

Then shall the LORD deal strangely with thee, with plagues upon thee and upon thy seed, with great and longsuffering plagues, with evil and longsuffering diseases, 60. And he shall turn unto thee all the plague of Egypt, from which thou art afraid, and they shall cleave unto thee.

And every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, shall the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

And there shall be left a little multitude of you, which were before as the stars of heaven according to the multitude, because thou hast not hearkened unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

And as the LORD rejoiced over you before, to do you good, and to multiply you; so shall he rejoice over you, to destroy you, and to destroy you: and ye shall be cut off from the land which thou goest in to possess it.

For the LORD shall scatter thee among all nations, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which thou hast not known, nor thy fathers, wood and stones.

Therefore thou shalt have no abiding substance among these nations, neither shall the soles of thy feet have any rest. For the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and faint eyes, and a withered soul,

That thy life shall hover before thee. Night and day thou shalt fear, and shalt not be sure of thy life.

In the morning thou shalt say, Alas, that I might live to see the evening! In the evening thou shalt say, Oh that I might see the morning! for the fear of thine heart shall terrify thee, and for that which thou shalt see with thine eyes.

And the LORD shall bring thee again into Egypt by ships full, by the way of which I said: Thou shalt see it no more. And there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondmaids, and there shall be no buyer.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 29
Covenant Renewal.

These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, the second time after he had made it with them in Horeb.

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them: Ye have seen all that the LORD hath done in Egypt before your eyes unto Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, 3. The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, that they were great signs and wonders.

And the LORD hath not yet given you unto this day a heart to understand, eyes to see, and ears to hear.

He hath made you to walk forty years in the wilderness: your garments are not become old upon you, neither is your shoe become old upon your feet.

Ye have not eaten bread, neither drunk wine, nor strong drink; that ye might know that I am the LORD your God.

And it came to pass, when ye were come into this place, that Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan went out to meet us to fight with us. And we smote them 8. And they took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of the Manassites.

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them; that ye may deal wisely in all your doings.

All ye stand before the LORD your God this day, the rulers of your tribes, your elders, your officers, every man of Israel,

Your children, your wives, your stranger that is in your camp, both your hewers of wood, and your drawers of water,

That thou mayest walk in the covenant of the LORD thy God, and in the oath which the LORD thy God maketh unto thee this day,

That he may establish thee this day for a people unto him, and that he may be thy God, as he spake unto thee, and as he sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

For I make not this covenant and this oath with you alone,

But both with you which are here this day, and stand with us before the LORD our God, and with them which are not with us this day.

For ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and passed through the midst of the nations which ye passed through,

And behold their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them.

Lest there be among you a man, or a woman, or a servant, or a tribe, whose heart is turned this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and peradventure become a root among you, bearing gall and wormwood,

And though he hear the words of this curse, yet bless himself in his heart, saying, It is well with me, because I walk according to my heart: that the drunken woman may pass away with the thirsty.

Then shall not the LORD have mercy upon him; but then shall his wrath and his fury be kindled against such a man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall be laid upon him. And the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

And he shall separate him for a calamity out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.

Then shall say the children of your children come up after you, and the strangers that come from a far country, when they see the plagues of this land, and the diseases wherewith the LORD hath afflicted them,

For he hath burned all their land with brimstone and salt, that it should not be sown, nor grow, neither should any herb spring up therein; as Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Zebo, are turned back, which the LORD hath turned back in his wrath and fury.

Then shall all nations say, Why hath the LORD thus done unto this land? What is this great and fierce anger?

And it shall be said, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them, when he brought them up out of the land of Egypt; 26. And they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, such gods as they knew not, and which gave them nothing;

Therefore the wrath of the LORD is kindled against this land, because he hath brought upon them all the curses that are written in this book;

And the LORD thrust them out of their land with great wrath and fury and displeasure, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

The mystery of the LORD our God is revealed unto us, and unto our children for ever, that we should do all the words of this law.
(Deuteronomy)
Chapter 30
The penitent obtain mercy, the rebellious vengeance and punishment.

When therefore all these things come upon thee, whether they be blessings or cursings, which I have set before thee, and thou goest into thine heart, where thou art among the heathen, because the LORD thy God hath cast thee out,

and turn unto the LORD thy God, to obey his voice, thou and thy children, with all thine heart and with all thy soul in all that I command thee this day,

Then shall the LORD thy God turn thy prison, and have mercy upon thee, and gather thee again out of all nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

If thou be cast out unto the end of heaven, yet the LORD thy God shall gather thee from thence, and fetch thee from thence;

And he shall bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he shall do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.

And the LORD thy God shall circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.

But these curses shall the LORD thy God put all upon thine enemies, and upon them that hate thee, and persecute thee.

But thou shalt return, and obey the voice of the LORD, and do all his commandments which I command thee this day.

And the LORD thy God shall make thee prosperous in all the works of thine hands, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy land; and it shall be well with thee. For the LORD will turn to rejoice over thee for thy good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers,

Therefore obey the voice of the LORD
