³ the greatgreat trials which thine eyeseyes have seenseen, the signssigns, and those greatgreat wonders;

⁴ and JehovahJehovah hath not givengiven to you a heartheart to knowknow, and eyeseyes to seesee, and ears to hearhear, till this dayday,

⁵ and I cause you to go fortyforty years in a wildernesswilderness; your garmentsgarments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoeshoe hath not worn away from off thy footfoot;

⁶ breadbread ye have not eateneaten, and winewine and strong drinkstrong drink ye have not drunkdrunk, so that ye knowknow that I [am] JehovahJehovah your GodGod.

⁷ `And ye comecome in unto this placeplace, and Sihon king of HeshbonHeshbon -- also OgOg king of Bashanking of Bashan -- doth comecome out to meetmeet usus, to battlebattle, and we smitesmite them,

⁸ and take their landland, and givegive it for an inheritanceinheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the halfhalf of the tribe of Manasseh;

⁹ and ye have keptkept the wordswords of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.

¹⁰ `Ye are standing to-dayday, all of you, beforebefore JehovahJehovah your GodGod -- your headsheads, your tribestribes, your elderselders, and your authorities -- every manman of IsraelIsrael;

¹¹ your infants, your wiveswives, and thy sojournersojourner who [is] in the midst of thy campscamps, from the hewer of thy woodwood unto the drawer of thy waterwater --

¹² for thy passingpassing over into the covenant of JehovahJehovah thy GodGod, and into His oathoath which JehovahJehovah thy GodGod is making with thee to-dayday;

¹³ in order to establish thee to-dayday to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy GodGod, as He hath spokenspoken to thee, and as He hath swornsworn to thy fathersfathers, to AbrahamAbraham, to IsaacIsaac, and to JacobJacob.

¹⁴ `And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oathoath;

¹⁵ but with him who is here with usus, standingstanding to-dayday beforebefore JehovahJehovah our GodGod, and with him who is not here with usus to-dayday,

¹⁶ for ye have knownknown how ye dweltdwelt in the landland of EgyptEgypt, and how we passedpassed by through the midst of the nationsnations which ye have passedpassed by;

¹⁷ and ye seesee their abominations, and their idolsidols, woodwood and stonestone, silversilver and goldgold, which [are] with them,

¹⁸ lest there be among you a manman or womanwoman, or familyfamily or tribe, whose heart is turningturning to-dayday from JehovahJehovah our GodGod, to gogo to serveserve the godsgods of those nationsnations, lest there be in you a rootroot fruitfulfruitful of gall and wormwoodgall and wormwood:

¹⁹ `And it hath been, in his hearinghearing the wordswords of this oathoath, and he hath blessedblessed himself in his heartheart, saying, I have peacepeace, though in the stubbornnessstubbornness of my heartheart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.

²⁰ JehovahJehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the angeranger of JehovahJehovah smoke, also His zealzeal, against that manman, and lain down on him hath all the oathoath which is writtenwritten in this bookbook, and JehovahJehovah hath blotted out his namename from underunder the heavensheavens,

²¹ and JehovahJehovah hath separated him for evilevil, out of all the tribestribes of IsraelIsrael, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is writtenwritten in this bookbook of the law.

²² `And the latter generationgeneration of your sons who riserise afterafter you, and the stranger who comethcometh in from a landland afar off, have saidsaid when they have seenseen the strokes of that landland, and its sicknessessicknesses which JehovahJehovah hath sent into it, --

²³ ([with] brimstonebrimstone and saltsalt is the whole landland burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go upgo up on it any herbherb, like the overthrow of SodomSodom and GomorrahGomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which JehovahJehovah overturnedoverturned in His angeranger, and in His furyfury,) --

²⁴ yea, all the nationsnations have saidsaid, Wherefore hath JehovahJehovah done thus to this landland? what the heat of this greatgreat angeranger?

²⁵ `And they have saidsaid, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of JehovahJehovah, GodGod of their fathersfathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the landland of EgyptEgypt,

²⁶ and they go and serveserve other godsgods, and bowbow themselves to them -- godsgods which they have not knownknown, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

²⁷ and the angeranger of JehovahJehovah burneth against that landland, to bringbring in on it all the revilingreviling that is writtenwritten in this bookbook,

²⁸ and JehovahJehovah doth pluck them from off their groundground in angeranger, and in furyfury, and in greatgreat wrathwrath, and doth cast them unto another landland, as [at] this dayday.

²⁹ `The things hiddenhidden [are] to JehovahJehovah our GodGod, and the things revealed [are] to usus and to our sons -- to the age, to do all the wordswords of this law.
