Deuteronomy 31:19-21

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁹ “So now, write down this song and teach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths so this song will be my witness against the people of Israel. ²⁰ When I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey that I promised by oath to their fathers, and they eat and are satisfied and grow fat, and they then turn to other gods and serve them, when they despise me and break my covenant, ²¹ and many evils and distresses find them, then this song will testify against them as a witness, because it will not be forgotten or gone from the mouths of their descendants. I certainly know the inclination that they are developing today before I bring them to the land that I have promised on oath.”
