Deuteronomy 29:20-21 -
Though the sinner fancies all is well with him, and is hardened in his iniquity, and is leading others astray by his example, the Lord will not suffer him to rest in impunity, but will send on him terrible punishments. The anger of the Lord and his jealousy shall smoke , i . e . shall break forth in destructive fire (cf. Psalms 74:1 : Isaiah 65:5 ; Psalms 18:8 ). The Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven (cf. Deuteronomy 25:19 ; Exodus 17:14 ). The Lord shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel ,—so that, excluded from the covenant nation, and placed beyond the sphere over which rests the salvation of the Lord, they will be exposed to destruction— according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law ; rather, as in the margin, is written ; the participle agrees with "covenant."
