Deuteronomy 31:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ then he went to the Levites who carried the sacred chest and said:

²⁶ This is The Book of God's Law. Keep it beside the sacred chest that holds the agreement the Lord your God made with Israel. This book is proof that you know what the Lord wants you to do. ²⁷ I know how stubborn and rebellious you and the rest of the Israelites are. You have rebelled against the Lord while I have been alive, and it will only get worse after I am gone.
