Chapter 29 of Deuteronomy—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. [a]1These are the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the 2covenant which He had made with them at Horeb.
  2. [b]And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them, “You have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and all his servants and all his land;
  3. 3the great trials which your eyes have seen, those great signs and wonders.
  4. Yet to this day 4the LORD has not given you a heart to know, nor eyes to see, nor ears to hear.
  5. I have led you forty years in the wilderness; 5your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandal has not worn out on your foot.
  6. 6You have not eaten bread, nor have you drunk wine or strong drink, in order that you might know that I am the LORD your God.
  7. 7When you [c]reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we [d]defeated them;
  8. and we took their land and 8gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of the Manassites.
  9. 9So keep the words of this covenant to do them, 10that you may prosper in all that you do.
  10. ¶ “You stand today, all of you, before the LORD your God: your chiefs, your tribes, your elders and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
  11. your little ones, your wives, and the alien who is within your camps, from 11the one who chops your wood to the one who draws your water,
  12. that you may enter into the covenant with the LORD your God, and into His oath which the LORD your God is making with you today,
  13. in order that He may establish you today as His people and that 12He may be your God, just as He spoke to you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
  14. ¶ “Now not with you alone am I 13making this covenant and this oath,
  15. 14but both with those who stand here with us today in the presence of the LORD our God and with those who are not with us here today
  16. (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;
  17. moreover, you have seen their abominations and their idols of 15wood, stone, silver, and gold, which they had with them);
  18. 16so that there will not be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart turns away today from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations; that there will not be among you 17a root bearing poisonous fruit and wormwood.
  19. It shall be when he hears the words of this curse, that he will [e]boast, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart in order [f]to destroy the watered land with the dry.’
  20. The LORD shall never be willing to forgive him, but rather the anger of the LORD and 18His jealousy will [g]19burn against that man, and every curse which is written in this book will [h]rest on him, and the LORD will 20blot out his name from under heaven.
  21. Then the LORD will single him out for [i]adversity from all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant 21which are written in this book of the law.
  22. ¶ “Now the generation to come, your sons who rise up after you and 22the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of the land and the diseases with which the LORD has [j]afflicted it, will say,
  23. ‘All its land is 23brimstone and salt, 24a burning waste, [k]unsown and unproductive, and no grass grows in it, like the overthrow of 25Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the LORD overthrew in His anger and in His wrath.’
  24. All the nations will say, ‘26Why has the LORD done thus to this land? Why this great [l]outburst of anger?’
  25. Then men will say, ‘27Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.
  26. They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods whom they have not known and whom He had not [m]allotted to them.
  27. Therefore, the anger of the LORD burned against that land, 28to bring upon it every curse which is written in this book;
  28. and 29the LORD uprooted them from their land in anger and in fury and in great wrath, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’
  29. ¶ “30The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but 31the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
