Deuteronomy 31:14-18

14Then the Lord said to Moses, “Behold, 1 2the time for you to die is near; call Joshua and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, and I will commission him.” 3So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting. 15 4And the Lord appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance of the tent. 16The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, 5you are about to 6lie down with your fathers; and 7this people will arise and play the prostitute with the foreign gods of the land into the midst of which they are going, and 8they will abandon Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. 17 9Then My anger will be kindled against them on that day, and 10I will abandon them and 11hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will find them; so they will say on that day, ‘12Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have found us?’ 18But I will assuredly hide My face on that day because of all the evil that they will have done, for they will have turned away to other gods.
