Deuteronomy 31:14-30

14Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2005, 12the timeH3117 for you to dieH4191 is nearH7126; callH7121 JoshuaH3091, and presentH3320 yourselves at the tentH168 of meetingH4150, that I may commissionH6680 him.” 3So MosesH4872 and JoshuaH3091 wentH1980 and presentedH3320 themselves at the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 154The LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the tentH168 in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051, and the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 stoodH5975 at the doorwayH6607 of the tentH168. 16The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, 5you are about to lieH7901 downH7901 with your fathersH1; and 6thisH2088 peopleH5971 will ariseH6965 and playH2181 the harlotH2181 with the strangeH5236 godsH430 of the landH776, into the midstH7130 of whichH834 they are goingH935, and 7will forsakeH5800 Me and breakH6565 My covenantH1285 whichH834 I have madeH3772 with them. 178Then My angerH639 will be kindledH2734 against them in that dayH3117, and 9I will forsakeH5800 them and 10hideH5641 My faceH6440 from them, and they will be consumedH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7463 and troublesH6869 will comeH4672 upon them; so that they will sayH559 in that dayH3117, ‘11Is it not becauseH5921H3588 our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us that theseH428 evilsH7463 have comeH4672 upon us?’ 18But I will surelyH5641 hideH5641 My faceH6440 in that dayH3117 becauseH5921 of allH3605 the evilH7463 whichH834 they will doH6213, for they will turnH6437 to otherH312 godsH430.

19“NowH6258 therefore, 12writeH3789 thisH2088 songH7892 for yourselves, and teachH3925 it to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; putH7760 it 13on their lipsH6310, soH4616 that thisH2088 songH7892 may be a witnessH5707 for Me against the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 2014For when I bringH935 them into the landH127 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1, and they have eatenH398 and are satisfiedH7646 and 15becomeH1878 16prosperousH1878, then they will turnH6437 to otherH312 godsH430 and serveH5647 them, and spurnH5006 Me and breakH6565 My covenantH1285. 21Then it shall comeH1961 about, 17whenH3588 manyH7227 evilsH7463 and troublesH6869 have comeH4672 upon them, that thisH2088 songH7892 will testifyH6030 beforeH6440 them as a witnessH5707 (for it shall not be forgottenH7911 from the 18lipsH6310 of their descendantsH2233); for 19I knowH3045 their intentH3336 whichH834 they are 20developingH6213 todayH3117, beforeH2962 I have broughtH935 them into the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650.” 2221So MosesH4872 wroteH3789 thisH2088 songH7892 the sameH1931 dayH3117, and taughtH3925 it to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

2322Then He commissionedH6680 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and saidH559, “23Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, for you shall bringH935 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to them, and 24I will be with you.”

24It cameH1961 about, when MosesH4872 finishedH3615 writingH3789 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 lawH8451 in a bookH5612 untilH5704 they were completeH8552, 25that MosesH4872 commandedH6680 the LevitesH3881 25who carriedH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068, sayingH559, 26“TakeH3947 thisH2088 bookH5612 of the lawH8451 and placeH7760 it besideH4480H6654 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, that it may 26remainH1961 thereH8033 as a witnessH5707 against you. 27For I knowH3045 27your rebellionH4805 and 28your 29stubbornnessH7186H6203; beholdH2005, while I am stillH5750 aliveH2416 with you todayH3117, you have beenH1961 rebelliousH4784 againstH5973 the LordH3068; howH637 muchH637H3588 moreH637H3588, then, afterH310 my deathH4194? 28AssembleH6950 to me allH3605 the eldersH2205 of your tribesH7626 and your officersH7860, that I may speakH1696 theseH428 wordsH1697 in their hearingH241 and 30callH5749 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776 to witnessH5749 against them. 29For I knowH3045 that afterH310 my deathH4194 you will 31actH7843 corruptlyH7843 and turnH5493 from the wayH1870 whichH834 I have commandedH6680 you; and evilH7463 will befallH7122 you in the latterH319 daysH3117, for you will doH6213 that whichH7451 is evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068, provokingH3707 Him to angerH3707 with the workH4639 of your handsH3027.”

30Then MosesH4872 spokeH1696 in the hearingH241 of allH3605 the assemblyH6951 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 of thisH2088 songH7892, untilH5704 they were completeH8552:
