Deuteronomy 29:19-21
International Standard Version
19 because when such a person[a] hears the words of this oath, he will bless himself and say:
‘I will have a peaceful life, even though I’m determined to be stubborn.’[b] By doing this he will be sweeping away both watered and parched ground alike.’
20 “The Lord won’t forgive such a person.[c] Instead, the zealous anger of the Lord will blaze against him. All the curses that were written in this book will fall on him. Then the Lord will wipe out his memory[d] from under heaven. 21 The Lord will set him apart from all the tribes of Israel for destruction,[e] according to the curses of the covenant that were written in this Book of the Law.”

Deuteronomy 29:19-21
New International Version
19 When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing(A) on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,”(B) they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry. 20 The Lord will never be willing to forgive(C) them; his wrath and zeal(D) will burn(E) against them. All the curses written in this book will fall on them, and the Lord will blot(F) out their names from under heaven. 21 The Lord will single them out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster,(G) according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.(H)
