Context of Deuteronomy 31:5
3As for the Lord your God, he is about to cross over before you; he will destroy these nations before you and dispossess them. As for Joshua, he is about to cross before you just as the Lord has said. 4The Lord will do to them just what he did to Sihon and Og, the Amorite kings, and to their land, which he destroyed.

He will not fail you or abandon you!” 7Then Moses called out to Joshua in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you will accompany these people to the land that the Lord promised to give their ancestors, and you will enable them to inherit it.
