Deuteronomy 31:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ And the Lord said to Moses: Behold thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people rising up will go a fornicating after strange gods in the land, to which it goeth in to dwell: there will they forsake me, and will make void the covenant, which I have made with them,

¹⁷ And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me.

¹⁸ But I will hide, and cover my face in that day, for all the evils which they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
