Deuteronomy 29:17-19
1599 Geneva Bible
17 And ye have seen their abominations and their idols (wood and stone, silver and gold) which were among them,
18 That there should not be among you man nor woman, nor family, nor tribe, which should turn his heart away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations, and that there should not be among you [a]any root that bringeth forth (A)gall and wormwood,
19 So that when he heareth the words of this curse, he [b]bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, although I walk according to the stubbornness of mine own heart, thus adding [c]drunkenness to thirst.
