Deuteronomy:31:21-29
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it shall come to pass ,
when many evils and troubles are befallen them ,
that this song shall testify against them as a witness ;
for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed :
for I know their imagination which they go about ,
even now ,
before I have brought them into the land which I sware .
*
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day ,
and taught it the children of Israel Yisra #
el #.
*
And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge ,
and said ,
Be strong and of a good courage :
for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them :
and I will be with thee .
*
And it came to pass ,
when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book ,
until they were finished ,
*
That Moses commanded the Levites ,
which bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD ,
saying ,
*
Take this book of the law ,
and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God ,
that it may be there for a witness against thee .
*
For I know thy rebellion ,
and thy stiff neck :
behold ,
while I am yet alive with you this day ,
ye have been rebellious against the LORD ;
and how much more after my death ?
*
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes ,
and your officers ,
that I may speak these words in their ears ,
and callheaven and earth to record against them .
*
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves ,
and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you ;
and evil will befall you in the latter days ;
because ye will do evil in the sight of the LORD ,
to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands .
