Deuteronomy 29:18-28 Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁸ Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness. ¹⁹ And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with him: ²⁰ God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and His jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven. ²¹ And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law. ²² And another generation shall say — even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it, ²³ brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrah were overthrown, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His wrath and anger) — ²⁴ and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? What is this great fierceness of anger? ²⁵ And men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which He appointed to their fathers, when He brought them out of the land of Egypt, ²⁶ and they went and served other gods which they knew not, neither did He assign them to them. ²⁷ And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law. ²⁸ And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as it is this day.
