*
And the LORD said to Moses : "
Behold ,
you will rest with your fathers ;
and this people will rise and play the harlot with the gods of the foreigners of the land ,
where they go to be among them ,
and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them .
*
Then My anger shall be aroused against them in that day ,
and I will forsake them ,
and I will hide My face from them ,
and they shall be devoured .
And many evils and troubles shall befall them ,
so that they will say in that day , "
Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us ?'
*
And I will surely hide My face in that day because of all the evil which they have done ,
in that they have turned to other gods .
* "
Now therefore ,
write down this song for yourselves ,
and teach it to the children of Israel ;
put it in their mouths ,
that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel .
*
When I have brought them to the land flowing with milk and honey ,
of which I swore to their fathers ,
and they have eaten and filled themselves and grown fat ,
then they will turn to other gods and serve them ;
and they will provoke Me and break My covenant .
*
Then it shall be ,
when many evils and troubles have come upon them ,
that this song will testify against them as a witness ;
for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of their descendants ,
for I know the inclination of their behavior today ,
even before I have brought them to the land of which I swore to give them ."
*
Therefore Moses wrote this song the same day ,
and taught it to the children of Israel .
