Deuteronomy 29:18-20
New King James Version
18 so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, (A)whose heart turns away today from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, (B)and that there may not be among you a root bearing (C)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 [a]follow the (D)dictates of my heart’—(E)as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.
20 (F)“The Lord would not spare him; for then (G)the anger of the Lord and (H)His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the Lord (I)would blot out his name from under heaven.
