Deuteronomy 4:23-31

23Take heedH8104 unto yourselves, lest ye forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430, which he madeH3772 with you, and makeH6213 you a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of anyH3605 thing, which YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 hath forbiddenH6680 thee. 24For YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 is a consumingH398 fireH784, even a jealousH7067 GodH410.

25When thou shalt begetH3205 childrenH1121, and children’sH1121 childrenH1121, and ye shall have remained longH3462 in the landH776, and shall corruptH7843 yourselves, and makeH6213 a graven imageH6459, or the likenessH8544 of any thing, and shall doH6213 evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, to provoke him to angerH3707: 26I callH5749 heavenH8064 and earthH776 to witnessH5749 against you this dayH3117, that ye shall soonH4118 utterlyH6 perishH6 from off the landH776 whereunto ye go overH5674 JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it; ye shall not prolongH748 your daysH3117 upon it, but shall utterlyH8045 be destroyedH8045. 27And YhwhH3068 shall scatterH6327 you among the nationsH5971, and ye shall be leftH7604 fewH4962 in numberH4557 among the heathenH1471, whither YhwhH3068 shall leadH5090 you. 28And there ye shall serveH5647 godsH430, the workH4639 of men’sH120 handsH3027, woodH6086 and stoneH68, which neither seeH7200, nor hearH8085, nor eatH398, nor smellH7306. 29But if from thence thou shalt seekH1245 YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, thou shalt findH4672 him, if thou seekH1875 him with all thy heartH3824 and with all thy soulH5315. 30When thou art in tribulationH6862, and all these thingsH1697 are comeH4672 upon thee, even in the latterH319 daysH3117, if thou turnH7725 to YhwhH3068 thy GodH430, and shalt be obedientH8085 unto his voiceH6963;1 31(For YhwhH3068 thy GodH430 is a mercifulH7349 GodH410;) he will not forsakeH7503 thee, neither destroyH7843 thee, nor forgetH7911 the covenantH1285 of thy fathersH1 which he swareH7650 unto them.
