Deuteronomy 29:19
Bible Versions
And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:
And it come to pass, when he heareth {H8085} the words {H1697} of this curse {H423}, that he bless {H1288} himself in his heart {H3824}, saying {H559}, I shall have peace {H7965}, though {H3588} I walk {H3212} in the imagination {H8307} of mine heart {H3820}, to add {H5595} drunkenness {H7302} to thirst {H6771}:
If there is such a person, when he hears the words of this curse, he will bless himself secretly, saying to himself, 'I will be all right, even though I will stubbornly keep doing whatever I feel like doing; so that I, although "dry," [sinful,] will be added to the "watered" [righteous].'
because when such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself, saying, ‘I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my own heart.’ This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.
