Deuteronomy 4:23-31

23So watchH8104 yourselves, 1that you do not forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 whichH834 He madeH3772 with you, and 2makeH6213 for yourselves a gravenH6459 imageH6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605 against whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you. 24For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 3consumingH398 fireH784, a 4jealousH7067 GodH410.

25“WhenH3588 you 5becomeH3205 the fatherH3205 of childrenH1121 and children’sH1121 childrenH1121 and have remainedH3462 longH3462 in the landH776, and 6actH7843 corruptlyH7843, and 7makeH6213 an 8idolH6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605, and 9doH6213 that whichH7451 is evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 so as to provokeH3707 Him to angerH3707, 26I 10callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you todayH3117, that you will 11surelyH6 perishH6 quicklyH4118 from the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are goingH5674 overH5674 the JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it. You shall not 12liveH748 longH748H3117 on it, but will be utterlyH8045 destroyedH8045. 27The LordH3068 will 13scatterH6327 you among the peoplesH5971, and you will be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you. 2814ThereH8033 you will serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of man’sH120 handsH3027, 15woodH6086 and stoneH68, 16whichH834 neitherH3808 seeH7200 norH3808 hearH8085 norH3808 eatH398 norH3808 smellH7381. 2917But from thereH8033 you will seekH1245 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and you will findH4672 Him ifH3588 you searchH1875 for Him 18with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315. 30When you 19are in distressH6862 and allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 have comeH4672 upon you, 20in the latterH319 daysH3117 21you will returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 and listenH8085 to His voiceH6963. 31For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 22compassionateH7349 GodH410; 23He will not failH7503 you norH3808 24destroyH7843 you norH3808 25forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to them.
