13 Know ye for certain, that the Lord your God will cast out no more of these nations from before you: (A)but they shall be a snare and destruction unto you, and a whip on your sides, and thorns in your [a]eyes, until ye perish out of this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.

14 And behold, this day do I [b]enter into the way of all the world, and ye know in all your [c]hearts and in all your souls, that (B)nothing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God promised you, but all are come to pass unto you: nothing hath failed thereof.

15 Therefore as all [d]good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you, so shall the Lord bring upon you every [e]evil thing, until he have destroyed you out of this good land, which the Lord your God hath given you.
