Deuteronomy 31:19-26

LEB(i) 19 "And so then write this song for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites;* put it in their mouth, so that this song may be for me as a witness against the Israelites.* 20 For when I bring them* into the land that I swore to their* ancestors,* a land flowing with milk and honey, they will eat their fill,* and they* will become fat, and then they* will turn to other gods, and they will serve them, and they will spurn me, and they* will break my covenant. 21 And then* many disasters and troubles will come upon them,* and this song will give evidence before them* as a witness, because it will not be forgotten from out of the mouth of their descendants,* for I know their* inclination that they* are having today* before I have brought them* into the land that I swore." 22 And Moses wrote this song on that day and taught it to the Israelites.* 23 Then he* told Joshua the son of Nun, and said to him, "Be strong and be courageous, for you shall bring the Israelites* into the land that I swore to them, and I will be with you." 24 And then when Moses finished writing* the words of this law on the scroll until they were complete,* 25 then Moses commanded the Levites carrying the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying,* 26 "Take the scroll of this law and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, and it will be there as a witness against you.
