Deuteronomy 31:14-23

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, and I will commissionH6680 him.” 3So MosesH4872 and JoshuaH3091 wentH1980 and presentedH3320 themselves at the tentH168 of meetingH4150. 154And the LordH3068 appearedH7200 in the tentH168 in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051, and the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 stoodH5975 at the entranceH6607 of the tentH168. 16The LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “BeholdH2009, 5you are about to 6lieH7901 downH7901 with your fathersH1; and 7thisH2088 peopleH5971 will ariseH6965 and playH2181 theH2181 prostituteH2181 with the foreignH5236 godsH430 of the landH776 into the midstH7130 of whichH834 they are goingH935, and 8they will abandonH5800 Me and breakH6565 My covenantH1285 whichH834 I have madeH3772 with them. 179Then My angerH639 will be kindledH2734 against them on that dayH3117, and 10I will abandonH5800 them and 11hideH5641 My faceH6440 from them, and they will be consumedH398, and manyH7227 evilsH7463 and troublesH6869 will findH4672 them; so they will sayH559 on that dayH3117, ‘12Is it not becauseH5921H3588 our GodH430 is not amongH7130 us that theseH428 evilsH7463 have foundH4672 us?’ 18But I will assuredlyH5641 hideH5641 My faceH6440 on that dayH3117 becauseH5921 of allH3605 the evilH7463 that they will have doneH6213, for they will have turnedH6437 awayH6437 to otherH312 godsH430.

19“NowH6258 then, 13writeH3789 thisH2088 songH7892 for yourselves, and teachH3925 it to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; putH7760 it 14on their lipsH6310, soH4616 thatH4616 thisH2088 songH7892 may be a witnessH5707 for Me against the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478. 2015For when I bringH935 them into the landH127 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, whichH834 I sworeH7650 to their fathersH1, and they eatH398 and areH7646 satisfiedH7646 and 16becomeH1878 17prosperousH1878, then they will turnH6437 to otherH312 godsH430 and serveH5647 them, and spurnH5006 Me and breakH6565 My covenantH1285. 21Then it will comeH1961 aboutH1961, 18whenH3588 manyH7227 evilsH7463 and troublesH6869 findH4672 them, that thisH2088 songH7892 will testifyH6030 beforeH6440 them as a witnessH5707 (for it shall not be forgottenH7911 from the mouthH6310 of their 19descendantsH2233); for 20I knowH3045 their inclinationH3336 whichH834 they are 21developingH6213 todayH3117, beforeH2962 I bringH935 them into the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650.” 2222So MosesH4872 wroteH3789 down thisH2088 songH7892 on the sameH1931 dayH3117, and taughtH3925 it to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.

2323Then He commissionedH6680 JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126, and saidH559, “24Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, for you will bringH935 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 into the landH776 whichH834 I sworeH7650 to them, and 25I will be with you.”
