Deuteronomy 31:16-18

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ‘You will soon die. After you die, the people will soon go away from me. They will start to worship foreign gods of the land where they are going. They will turn against me. They will not obey the covenant that I made with them. ¹⁷ When that happens, I will be very angry with them. I will leave them. I will refuse to help them until they are destroyed. Many bad things will happen to them so that they are in great trouble. Then they will say, “These bad things have happened to us because our God is no longer with us.”

¹⁸ But at that time I will certainly refuse to help them. That is because of all the wicked things that they will have done. They will start to worship other gods.
