Deuteronomy 4:23-31

23TakeH8104 heedH8104 unto yourselves, lestH6435 ye forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of Jehovah your GodH430, which he madeH6213 with you, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459 in the formH8544 of anything which Jehovah thy GodH430 hath forbidden thee. 24For Jehovah thy GodH430 is a devouringH398 fireH784, a jealousH7067 GodH430.

25When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have been long in the landH776, and shall corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 a graven imageH6459 in the formH8544 of anything, and shall do that which is evilH7451 in the sight of Jehovah thy GodH430, to provokeH3707 him to angerH3707; 26I call heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witness against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soon utterly perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go over the JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterly be destroyedH8045. 27And Jehovah will scatterH6327 you among the peoplesH5971, and ye shall be leftH7604 few in numberH4557 among the nationsH1471, whither Jehovah shall lead you awayH5090. 28And there ye shall serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68, which neither seeH7200, nor hearH8085, nor eatH398, nor smellH7306. 29But from thence ye shall seekH1245 Jehovah thy GodH430, and thou shalt findH4672 him, when thou searchest after him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315. 30When thou art in tribulation, and all these thingsH1697 are come upon thee, in the latterH319 daysH3117 thou shalt returnH7725 to Jehovah thy GodH430, and hearken unto his voiceH6963: 31for Jehovah thy GodH430 is a merciful GodH430; he will not fail thee, neither destroyH7843 thee, nor forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of thy fathersH1 which he sware unto them.
