Deuteronomy 31:16-30

16And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the strange 1gods of the land into which they enter, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 17And my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, and they will say in that day, Have not these evils befallen me because my 2God is not in my midst? 18And I will entirely hide my face in that day for all the evils that they have wrought, because they turned unto other 3gods. 19And now, write ye this song, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. 20For I shall bring them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, which floweth with milk and honey; and they will eat and fill themselves, and wax fat, and will turn unto other 4gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. 21And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles have befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed; for I know their imagination which they are forming already this day, before I bring them into the land which I have sworn [unto them]. 22And Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel. 23And [Jehovah] commanded Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and courageous; for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I have sworn unto them; and I will be with thee. 24And it came to pass, when Moses had ended writing the words of this law in a book, until their conclusion, 25that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying, 26Take this book of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your 5God, that it may be there for a witness against thee; 27for I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck. Lo, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah; and how much more after my death! 28Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and take heaven and earth to witness against them. 29For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and mischief will befall you at the end of days; because ye do evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 30And Moses spoke in the ears of the whole congregation of Israel the words of this song, until their conclusion.
