Deuteronomy 4:26-29

26I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed.

27And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you.

28And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
