But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out — Moses warns of judgment if they break their oath: covenant infidelity will be discovered and punished. The phrase "your sin will find you out" is proverbial (cf. Proverbs), suggesting that covenant violations have inevitable consequences, whether through divine judgment or historical circumstance.
