Deuteronomy 29:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ “And you have seen their abominations and their idols (wood and stone, silver and gold) which were among them,

¹⁸ “so that there should not be among you man or woman or family or tribe which should turn his heart away from the LORD our God this day — to go and serve the gods of these nations — so that there should not be a root among you who brings forth bitterness and wormwood;

¹⁹ “so that when he hears the words of this curse, he blesses himself in his heart, saying, ‘I shall have peace, although I walk according to the stubbornness of my own heart’, thus adding drunkenness to thirst.
