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

18 Lest there be among you man or woman, or family or tribe, whom his heart turn this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be among you a root bearing poverty and wormwood;
18 (P)so that there will not be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations; that there will not be among you (Q)a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood.
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;

19 And it was in his hearing the words of this oath, and he blessed himself in his heart, saying, Peace shall be to me, if in the hardness of my heart, I shall go to add satiating to thirst:
19 It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will (e)boast, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order (f)to destroy the watered land with the dry.’

20 The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.
20 The Lord will not be willing to forgive him. Instead, His anger and jealousy will burn against that person, and every curse written in this scroll will descend on him. The Lord will blot out his name under heaven,
20 "The LORD won't forgive such a person. Instead, the zealous anger of the LORD will blaze against him. All the curses that were written in this book will fall on him. Then the LORD will wipe out his memory from under heaven.
21 And Jehovah separated him for evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in the book of this law:
21 Then the Lord will single him out for (i)adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant (U)which are written in this book of the law.
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 are written in this book of the law:
21 and single him out for harm from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this book of the law.
21 The LORD will set him apart from all the tribes of Israel for destruction, according to the curses of the covenant that were written in this Book of the Law."
22 And said, Another generation of your sons who shall rise up from after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a land afar off, and they saw the blows of that land, and the sicknesses which Jehovah made sick in it;
22 “Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and (V)the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the Lord has (j)afflicted it, will say,
22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;
22 “Future generations of your children who follow you and the foreigner who comes from a distant country will see the plagues of the land and the sicknesses the Lord has inflicted on it.
22 "Then the generation to come your descendants after you and the foreigners who come from afar will see plagues and illnesses infecting the land that the LORD will inflict on it.
23 Pitch and burning salt, all its land; it shall not be sown, and it shall not sprout, and no green herb shall come up upon it, as the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his wrath:
23 ‘All its land is (W)brimstone and salt, (X)a burning waste, (k)unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of (Y)Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.’
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
23 All its soil will be a burning waste of sulfur and salt, unsown, producing nothing, with no plant growing on it, just like the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord demolished in His fierce anger.(G)
23 The whole land will be covered with salt pits and burning sulfur, with nothing planted, nothing sprouting, and producing no vegetation overthrown like Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, when the LORD overthrew them in his raging fury.
24 And all the nations said, For what did Jehovah thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?
24 All the nations will say, ‘(Z)Why has the Lord done thus to this land? Why this great (l)outburst of anger?’
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?
24 All the nations will ask, ‘Why has the Lord done this to this land? Why this great outburst of anger?’
24 All the nations will ask, "Why did the LORD do this to this land? What is the meaning of this fierce and great anger?'
25 And they said, Because they left the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he made with them; in his bringing them forth from the land of Egypt
25 Then men will say, ‘(AA)Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
25 Then people will answer, ‘It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which He had made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
25 Then they will answer themselves,
26 And they will go and serve other gods, and will worship to them gods which they knew them not, and a portion not to them.
26 They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom He had not (m)allotted to them.
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:
26 They began to worship other gods, bowing down to gods they had not known—gods that the Lord had not permitted them to worship.(H)
26 "Because they've abandoned the covenant of their LORD, the God of their ancestors that he had made with them when he brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshipped other gods whom they had not known and whom he did not assign to them.
27 And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against this land, to bring upon it all the curses written in this book.
27 Therefore, the anger of the Lord burned against that land, (AB)to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book;
27 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
27 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against this land, and He brought every curse written in this book on it.
27 For this reason, the anger of the LORD raged against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that were written in this book.
28 And Jehovah will tear them up from their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great anger, and will send them to another land as this day.
28 and (AC)the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
28 And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.
28 The Lord uprooted them from their land in His anger, rage, and great wrath, and threw them into another land where they are today.’
28 The LORD uprooted them from the land in his anger, wrath, and great fury, deporting them to another land, and that's the way things are today.'
29 Hidden things to Jehovah our God: and uncovered things to us and to our sons to forever, to do all the words of this law.
29 “(AD)The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but (AE)the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.
29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
