ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ These are the statutes and judgments, which ye shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of thy fathers giveth thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And shalt return unto the LORD thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ That then the LORD thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath scattered thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ This day the LORD thy God hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ The LORD shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ The LORD shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long: and there shall be no might in thine hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ The LORD shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the LORD shall lead thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴² All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁵ Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁶ And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁷ Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁸ Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁹ The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵¹ And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵² And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the LORD thy God hath given thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵³ And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁴ So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁵ So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁶ The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁷ And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁸ If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁹ Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁰ Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶¹ Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶² And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the LORD thy God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶³ And it shall come to pass, that as the LORD rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the LORD will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁴ And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁶ And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁷ In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁸ And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁵ The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³² For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁴ Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁶ For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁷ And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁹ See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
