16 The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down [in death] with your fathers; and this people will arise and [a]play the prostitute (commit apostasy) with the foreign gods [of the people] of the land, where they go to be among them.

They will be devoured, and many evils and troubles will come on them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come on us?’ 18 But I will certainly hide My face [from them] in that day because of all the evil which they will do, for they will turn to other gods [to worship lifeless idols, to honor handmade relics].
