Deut.29.5

For forty years I led you through the wilderness, yet your clothes and sandals did not wear out.

Deut.29.6

and you lived well without bread and wine and beer, proving to you that I am in fact GOD, your God.

Deut.29.6

You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.

Deut.29.6

You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or similar drink, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.

Deut.29.6

You had no bread or wine or other strong drink, but he gave you food so you would know that he is the LORD your God.

All of you are standing today in the presence of the LORD your God-your leaders and chief men, your elders and officials, and all the other men of Israel,

Deut.29.10

"All of you stand today before the LORD your God: your leaders and your tribes and your elders and your officers, all the men of Israel,

Deut.29.10

All of you--your tribal leaders, your judges, your officers, all the men of Israel--are standing today before the LORD your God.

Deut.29.11

your babies, your wives, the resident foreigners in your camps who fetch your firewood and water

Deut.29.11

together with your children and your wives, and the aliens living in your camps who chop your wood and carry your water.

your little ones and your wives--also the stranger who is in your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water--

Deut.29.11

With you are your little ones, your wives, and the foreigners living among you who chop your wood and carry your water.

-ready to cross over into the solemnly sworn Covenant that GOD, your God, is making with you today,

Deut.29.12

You are standing here in order to enter into a covenant with the LORD your God, a covenant the LORD is making with you this day and sealing with an oath,

Deut.29.12

that you may enter into covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath, which the LORD your God makes with you today,

Deut.29.12

You are standing here today to enter into a covenant with the LORD your God. The LORD is making this covenant with you today, and he has sealed it with an oath.

Deut.29.13

the Covenant that this day confirms that you are his people and he is GOD, your God, just as he promised you and your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deut.29.13

to confirm you this day as his people, that he may be your God as he promised you and as he swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Deut.29.13

that He may establish you today as a people for Himself, and that He may be God to you, just as He has spoken to you, and just as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deut.29.13

He wants to confirm you today as his people and to confirm that he is your God, just as he promised you, and as he swore to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Deut.29.14

I'm not making this Covenant and its oath with you alone.

Deut.29.14

I am making this covenant, with its oath, not only with you

Deut.29.14

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

Deut.29.14

But you are not the only ones with whom the LORD is making this covenant with its obligations.

Deut.29.15

I am making it with you who are standing here today in the Presence of GOD, our God, yes, but also with those who are not here today.

Deut.29.15

who are standing here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God but also with those who are not here today.

Deut.29.15

but with him who stands here with us today before the LORD our God, as well as with him who is not here with us today

Deut.29.15

The LORD your God is making this covenant with you who stand in his presence today and also with all future generations of Israel.

Deut.29.16

You know the conditions in which we lived in Egypt and how we crisscrossed through nations in our travels.

Deut.29.16

You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here.

Deut.29.16

(for you know that we dwelt in the land of Egypt and that we came through the nations which you passed by,

Deut.29.16

"Surely you remember how we lived in the land of Egypt and how we traveled through the lands of enemy nations as we left.

Deut.29.17

You got an eyeful of their obscenities, their wood and stone, silver and gold junk-gods.

Deut.29.17

You saw among them their detestable images and idols of wood and stone, of silver and gold.

Deut.29.17

and you saw their abominations and their idols which were among them--wood and stone and silver and gold);

Deut.29.17

You have seen their detestable idols made of wood, stone, silver, and gold.

Deut.29.18

Don't let down your guard lest even now, today, someone--man or woman, clan or tribe--gets sidetracked from GOD, our God, and gets involved with the no-gods of the nations; lest some poisonous weed sprout and spread among you,

Deut.29.18

Make sure there is no man or woman, clan or tribe among you today whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to go and worship the gods of those nations; make sure there is no root among you that produces such bitter poison.

Deut.29.18

so that there may not be among you man or woman or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and that there may not be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood;

Deut.29.18

The LORD made this covenant with you so that no man, woman, family, or tribe among you would turn away from the LORD our God to worship these gods of other nations, and so that no root among you would bear bitter and poisonous fruit.

Deut.29.19

a person who hears the words of the Covenant-oath but exempts himself, thinking, "I'll live just the way I please, thank you," and ends up ruining life for everybody.

Deut.29.19

When such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself and therefore thinks, "I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way." This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.

Deut.29.19

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 follow the dictates of my heart'--as though the drunkard could be included with the sober.

Deut.29.19

Let none of those who hear the warnings of this curse consider themselves immune, thinking, `I am safe, even though I am walking in my own stubborn way.' This would lead to utter ruin!

Deut.29.20

GOD won't let him off the hook. GOD's anger and jealousy will erupt like a volcano against that person. The curses written in this book will bury him. GOD will delete his name from the records.

Deut.29.20

The LORD will never be willing to forgive him; his wrath and zeal will burn against that man. All the curses written in this book will fall upon him, and the LORD will blot out his name from under heaven.

Deut.29.20

"The LORD would not spare him; for then the anger of the LORD and His jealousy would burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book would settle on him, and the LORD would blot out his name from under heaven.

Deut.29.20

The LORD will not pardon such people. His anger and jealousy will burn against them. All the curses written in this book will come down on them, and the LORD will erase their names from under heaven.

Deut.29.21

GOD will separate him out from all the tribes of Israel for special punishment, according to all the curses of the Covenant written in this Book of Revelation.

Deut.29.21

The LORD will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.

Deut.29.21

And the LORD would separate him from all the tribes of Israel for adversity, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Law,

Deut.29.21

The LORD will separate them from all the tribes of Israel, to pour out on them all the covenant curses recorded in this Book of the Law.

Deut.29.22

The next generation, your children who come after you and the foreigner who comes from a far country, will be appalled when they see the widespread devastation, how GOD made the whole land sick.

Deut.29.22

Your children who follow you in later generations and foreigners who come from distant lands will see the calamities that have fallen on the land and the diseases with which the LORD has afflicted it.

Deut.29.22

so that the coming generation of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, would say, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which the LORD has laid on it:

Deut.29.22

"Then the generations to come, both your own descendants and the foreigners who come from distant lands, will see the devastation of the land and the diseases the LORD will send against it.

Deut.29.23

They'll see a fire-blackened wasteland of brimstone and salt flats, nothing planted, nothing growing, not so much as a blade of grass anywhere--like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which GOD overthrew in fiery rage.

Deut.29.23

The whole land will be a burning waste of salt and sulfur-nothing planted, nothing sprouting, no vegetation growing on it. It will be like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in fierce anger.

Deut.29.23

"The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and His wrath.'

Deut.29.23

They will find its soil turned into sulfur and salt, with nothing planted and nothing growing, not even a blade of grass. It will be just like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD destroyed in his anger.

Deut.29.24

All the nations will ask, "Why did GOD do this to this country? What on earth could have made him this angry?"

Deut.29.24

All the nations will ask: "Why has the LORD done this to this land? Why this fierce, burning anger?"

Deut.29.24

All nations would say, "Why has the LORD done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?'

Deut.29.24

The surrounding nations will ask, `Why has the LORD done this to his land? Why was he so angry?'

Deut.29.25

Your children will answer, "Because they abandoned the Covenant of the GOD of their ancestors that he made with them after he got them out of Egypt;

Deut.29.25

And the answer will be: "It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.

Deut.29.25

Then people would say: "Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt;

Deut.29.25

"And they will be told, `This happened because the people of the land broke the covenant they made with the LORD, the God of their ancestors, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.

Deut.29.26

they went off and worshiped other gods, submitted to gods they'd never heard of before, gods they had no business dealing with.

Deut.29.26

They went off and worshiped other gods and bowed down to them, gods they did not know, gods he had not given them.

Deut.29.26

for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them.

Deut.29.26

They turned to serve and worship other gods that were foreign to them, gods that the LORD had not designated for them.

Deut.29.27

So GOD's anger erupted against that land and all the curses written in this book came down on it.

Deut.29.27

Therefore the LORD's anger burned against this land, so that he brought on it all the curses written in this book.

Deut.29.27

Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book.

Deut.29.27

That is why the LORD's anger burned against this land, bringing down on it all the curses recorded in this book.

Deut.29.28

GOD, furiously angry, pulled them, roots and all, out of their land and dumped them in another country, as you can see."

Deut.29.28

In furious anger and in great wrath the LORD uprooted them from their land and thrust them into another land, as it is now."

Deut.29.28

And the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.'

Deut.29.28

In great anger and fury the LORD uprooted his people from their land and exiled them to another land, where they still live today!'

Deut.29.29

GOD, our God, will take care of the hidden things but the revealed things are our business. It's up to us and our children to attend to all the terms in this Revelation.

Deut.29.29

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.

Deut.29.29

"The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.

Deut.29.29

"There are secret things that belong to the LORD our God, but the revealed things belong to us and our descendants forever, so that we may obey these words of the law.

Deut.30.1

Here's what will happen. While you're out among the nations where GOD has dispersed you and the blessings and curses come in just the way I have set them before you, and you and your children take them seriously

Deut.30.1

When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come upon you and you take them to heart wherever the LORD your God disperses you among the nations,

Deut.30.1

"Now it shall come to pass, when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God drives you,

Deut.30.1

"Suppose all these things happen to you--the blessings and the curses I have listed--and you meditate on them as you are living among the nations to which the LORD your God has exiled you.

Deut.30.2

and come back to GOD, your God, and obey him with your whole heart and soul according to everything that I command you today,

Deut.30.2

and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today,

Deut.30.2

and you return to the LORD your God and obey His voice, according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,

Deut.30.2

If at that time you return to the LORD your God, and you and your children begin wholeheartedly to obey all the commands I have given you today,

Deut.30.3

GOD, your God, will restore everything you lost; he'll have compassion on you; he'll come back and pick up the pieces from all the places where you were scattered.

Deut.30.3

then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.

Deut.30.3

that the LORD your God will bring you back from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the nations where the LORD your God has scattered you.

Deut.30.3

then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes. He will have mercy on you and gather you back from all the nations where he has scattered you.

Deut.30.4

No matter how far away you end up, GOD, your God, will get you out of there

Deut.30.4

Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the LORD your God will gather you and bring you back.

Deut.30.4

If any of you are driven out to the farthest parts under heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there He will bring you.

Deut.30.4

Though you are at the ends of the earth, the LORD your God will go and find you and bring you back again.

Deut.30.5

and bring you back to the land your ancestors once possessed. It will be yours again. He will give you a good life and make you more numerous than your ancestors.

Deut.30.5

He will bring you to the land that belonged to your fathers, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.

Deut.30.5

Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.

Deut.30.5

He will return you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will possess that land again. He will make you even more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors!

Deut.30.6

GOD, your God, will cut away the thick calluses on your heart and your children's hearts, freeing you to love GOD, your God, with your whole heart and soul and live, really live.

Deut.30.6

The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.

Deut.30.6

And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

Deut.30.6

"The LORD your God will cleanse your heart and the hearts of all your descendants so that you will love him with all your heart and soul, and so you may live!

Deut.30.7

GOD, your God, will put all these curses on your enemies who hated you and were out to get you.

Deut.30.7

The LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.

Deut.30.7

"Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.

Deut.30.7

The LORD your God will inflict all these curses on your enemies and persecutors.

Deut.30.8

And you will make a new start, listening obediently to GOD, keeping all his commandments that I'm commanding you today.

Deut.30.8

You will again obey the LORD and follow all his commands I am giving you today.

Deut.30.8

And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and do all His commandments which I command you today.

Deut.30.8

Then you will again obey the LORD and keep all the commands I am giving you today.

Deut.30.9

GOD, your God, will outdo himself in making things go well for you: you'll have babies, get calves, grow crops, and enjoy an all-around good life. Yes, GOD will start enjoying you again, making things go well for you just as he enjoyed doing it for your ancestors.

Deut.30.9

Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers,

Deut.30.9

The LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the increase of your livestock, and in the produce of your land for good. For the LORD will again rejoice over you for good as He rejoiced over your fathers,

Deut.30.9

The LORD your God will make you successful in everything you do. He will give you many children and numerous livestock, and your fields will produce abundant harvests, for the LORD will delight in being good to you as he was to your ancestors.

Deut.30.10

But only if you listen obediently to GOD, your God, and keep the commandments and regulations written in this Book of Revelation. Nothing halfhearted here; you must return to GOD, your God, totally, heart and soul, holding nothing back.

The LORD your God will delight in you if you obey his voice and keep the commands and laws written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.
