Deuteronomy 29:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ You saw their hated idols made of wood, stone, silver and gold. ¹⁸ Make sure no man, woman, family group or tribe among you leaves the Lord. Don’t let them go and serve the gods of those nations. That would be like a plant that grows bitter, poisonous fruit.

¹⁹ That kind of person might hear these curses. But he blesses himself. And he thinks, “I will be safe. I will continue doing what I want to do.” That person might destroy all of your land, both wet and dry.
