Deuteronomy 29:20-22
New English Translation

20 The Lord will be unwilling to forgive him, and his intense anger[a] will rage[b] against that man; all the curses[c] written in this scroll will fall upon him,[d] and the Lord will obliterate his name from memory.[e] 21 The Lord will single him out[f] for judgment[g] from all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant written in this scroll of the law. 22 The generation to come—your descendants who will rise up after you, as well as the foreigner who will come from distant places—will see[h] the afflictions of that land and the illnesses that the Lord has brought on it.
