Deuteronomy 4:23-31

23So beH8104 carefulH8104 1yourselves, 2that you do not forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 whichH834 He madeH3772 with you, and 3makeH6213 for yourselves a carvedH6459 imageH6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605 against whichH834 the LordH3068 your GodH430 has commandedH6680 you. 24For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 4consumingH398 fireH784, a 5jealousH7067 GodH410.

25“WhenH3588 you fatherH3205 childrenH1121 and have 6grandchildrenH1121, and you growH3462 oldH3462 in the landH776, and you 7actH7843 corruptlyH7843, and 8makeH6213 9an idolH6459 in the formH8544 of anythingH3605, and 10doH6213 whatH7451 isH7451 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LordH3068 your GodH430 to provokeH3707 Him toH3707 angerH3707, 26I 11callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 asH5749 witnessesH5749 against you todayH3117, that you will 12certainlyH6 perishH6 quicklyH4118 from the landH776 whereH834H8033 you are goingH5674 overH5674 the JordanH3383 to takeH3423 possessionH3423 of it. You will not 13liveH748 longH748H3117 on it, but will be utterlyH8045 destroyedH8045. 27The LordH3068 will 14scatterH6327 you among the peoplesH5971, and you will be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the nationsH1471 whereH834H8033 the LordH3068 drivesH5090 you. 2815ThereH8033 you will serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of humanH120 handsH3027, 16woodH6086 and stoneH68, 17whichH834 neitherH3808 seeH7200 norH3808 hearH8085, norH3808 eatH398 norH3808 smellH7381 anything. 2918But from thereH8033 you will seekH1245 the LordH3068 your GodH430, and you will findH4672 Him ifH3588 you searchH1875 for Him 19with allH3605 your heartH3824 and allH3605 your soulH5315. 30When you 20are in distressH6862 and allH3605 theseH428 thingsH1697 happenH4672 toH4672 you, 21in the latterH319 daysH3117 22you will returnH7725 to the LordH3068 your GodH430 and listenH8085 to His voiceH6963. 31For the LordH3068 your GodH430 is a 23compassionateH7349 GodH410; 24He will not abandonH7503 you norH3808 25destroyH7843 you, norH3808 26forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 with your fathersH1 whichH834 He sworeH7650 to them.
