Deuteronomy 29:11

9 So keep and follow the words of this covenant, that you may prosper in all you do.

10 All of you are standing today before the LORD your God—you leaders of tribes, elders, officials, and all the men of Israel,

your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your wood and draw your water—

12 so that you may enter into the covenant of the LORD your God, which He is making with you today, and into His oath,

13 and so that He may establish you today as His people, and He may be your God as He promised you and as He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
