“And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.”
If you ever forget the LORD your God and follow other gods and worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely be destroyed — the warning turns apocalyptic: covenant-breaking through idolatry brings not merely correction but destruction (the Hebrew abad, to perish utterly). The alternative to remembering the LORD is not neutral indifference but active apostasy.
