Deuteronomy 11:6

11:6 or what he did to Dathan and Abiram, ¹  sons of Eliab the Reubenite, ²  when the earth opened its mouth in the middle of the Israelite camp ³  and swallowed them, their families, ⁴  their tents, and all the property they brought with them. ⁵ 

Deuteronomy 19:6

19:6 Otherwise the blood avenger will chase after the killer in the heat of his anger, eventually overtake him, ⁶  and kill him, ⁷  though this is not a capital case ⁸  since he did not hate him at the time of the accident.

Deuteronomy 24:19

24:19 Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, ⁹  you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the Lord your God may bless all the work you do. ¹⁰ 

Deuteronomy 31:17

31:17 At that time ¹¹  my anger will erupt against them ¹²  and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome ¹³  them ¹⁴  so that they ¹⁵  will say at that time, ‘Have not these disasters ¹⁶  overcome us ¹⁷  because our ¹⁸  God is not among us ¹⁹ ?’

Deuteronomy 31:21

31:21 Then when ²⁰  many disasters and distresses overcome them ²¹  this song will testify against them, ²²  for their ²³  descendants will not forget it. ²⁴  I know the ²⁵  intentions they have in mind ²⁶  today, even before I bring them ²⁷  to the land I have promised.”

Deuteronomy 31:29

31:29 For I know that after I die you will totally ²⁸  corrupt yourselves and turn away from the path I have commanded you to walk. Disaster will confront you in the days to come because you will act wickedly ²⁹  before the Lord, inciting him to anger because of your actions.” ³⁰
