Deuteronomy 29:18 Context
16(For ye know how we haue dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came thorow the nations which ye passed by. 17And ye haue seene their abominations, and their idoles, wood, and stone, siluer, and gold, which were among them.) 18Lest there should be among you man or woman, or familie, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day frō the Lord our God, to goe and serue the gods of these nations: lest there should bee among you a root that beareth gall and wormewood, 19And it come to passe when he heareth the wordes of this curse, that hee blesse himselfe in his heart, saying, I shall haue peace, though I walke in the imagination of mine heart, to adde drunkennesse to thirst: 20The Lord wil not spare him, but then the anger of the Lord, and his ielousie shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this booke shall lie vpon him, and the Lord shall blot out his name from vnder heauen.
