Idolatry leads to bitterness which leads to self-deception which leads to spiritual death. All false gods hate their own worshipers and seek to enslave and destroy them, spiritually if not always physically.

Deuteronomy 29:19 contains a phrase that is difficult to translate. Moist and dry? Sinner and guiltless? Drunkenness and thirst? However it translates, it refers to the ultimate emptiness and uselessness of man-made religion. Only YHWH wants to do good for all His faithful for all eternity.
