12 for if indeed you turn back and join these remaining nations ⌊among you⌋,l and you intermarry with them, ⌊marrying their women and they yours⌋,m 13 know for certain that Yahweh your God ⌊will not continue to drive out⌋n these nations from before you; they will be for you a snare and a trap, a whip on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you.

14 Look! ⌊I am about to die⌋,o and you know in all your heartsp and soulsq that not one thing ⌊failed⌋r from all the good things that Yahweh your God promised concerning you; everything ⌊has been fulfilled⌋;s ⌊not one thing failed⌋.t 15 But just as all the good thingsu came to you that Yahweh your God promised, so will Yahweh bring to you all the bad thingsv until he has destroyed you from this good land that Yahweh your God has given to you. 16 If you transgress the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he commanded to you, and you go and serve other gods and bow down to them, ⌊Yahweh’s anger will be kindled⌋w against you, and you will perish quickly from the good land that he has given to you.”
