1So Moses finished telling the Israelites what they had to do in order to keep the agreement the Lord was making with them in Moab, which was in addition to the one the Lord had made with them at Mount Sinai.The Third Speech: Israel Must Keep Its Agreement with the LordThe Lord
Is Your God2-3Moses called the nation of Israel together and told them:
When you were in Egypt, you saw the Lord perform great miracles that caused trouble for the king, his officials, and everyone else in the country.
4-6He has even told you, “For 40 years I, the Lord, led you through the desert, but your clothes and your sandals didn't wear out, and I gave you special food. I did these things so you would realize that I am your God.”
But the Lord must give you a change of heart before you truly understand what you have seen and heard.

20-21The Lord will be furious, and instead of forgiving you, he will separate you from the other tribes. Then he will destroy you, by piling on you all the curses in The Book of God's Law, and you will be forgotten forever.
22The Lord will strike your country with diseases and disasters. Your descendants and foreigners from distant countries will see that your land
23
24People from other nations will ask, “Why did the Lord destroy this country? Why was he so furious?”
25And they will be given this answer:
Our ancestors worshiped the Lord, but after he brought them out of Egypt and made an agreement with them, they rejected the agreement
26and decided to worship gods that had never helped them. The Lord had forbidden Israel to worship these gods,
27-28and so he became furious and punished the land with all the curses in The Book of God's Law. Then he pulled up Israel by the roots and tossed them into a foreign country, where they still are today.
29The Lord our God hasn't explained the present or the future, but he has commanded us to obey the laws he gave to us and our descendants.
