DEUTERONOMY 29:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;”
Beware that there is no one among you whose heart turns away from the LORD our God to serve the gods of these nations; beware that there is no root among you that produces poisonous and bitter growth — apostasy ('leveev ponek') leads to idolatry ('la'avod et elohei hagoyim ha'hem'). The 'root bearing poisonous fruit' ('shoresh porek la'anah v'lalagal') is the hidden heretic.
