them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17
Then my anger
shall be kindled 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. Are not these evils come upon us, because our God
is
not among us?
18
And I will
surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are
turned unto other gods.
19
Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of
Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
20
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth
with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they
turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
21
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.
22
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23
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.
24
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,
25
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant
of the L
ORD
, saying,
26
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant
of the L
ORD
your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee.
27
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 L
ORD
; and how much more after my death?
28
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words
in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record against them.
29
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 L
ORD
, to provoke him
to anger through the work of your hands.
30
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of
Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
CHAPTER 32
Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2
My doctrine
shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and
as the showers upon the grass:
3
Because I will publish the name of the L
ORD
: ascribe ye greatness
unto our God.
4
He is
the Rock, his work
is
perfect: for all his ways
are
judgment: a God of truth
and without iniquity, just and right
is
he.
5
They have corrupted themselves, their spot
is
not
the
spot
of his children:
they are
a perverse and crooked generation.
6
Do ye thus requite the L
ORD
, O
