Deuteronomy 31:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ And the Lord said to Moses, “You will soon ·die [^Llie down/^Tsleep with your fathers]. Then these people will ·not be loyal to me but will worship [^Lprostitute themselves with] the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will ·leave [abandon; forsake] me, breaking the ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty] I ·made [^Lcut] with them. ¹⁷ ·Then [^LOn that day] I will become very angry at them, and I will ·leave [abandon; forsake] them. I will ·turn away [^Lhide my face] from them, and they will be ·destroyed [devoured; consumed]. Many terrible things will happen to them. ·Then [^LOn that day] they will say, ‘·It is [^LIs it not…?] because God is not with us that these terrible things are happening.’ ¹⁸ I will surely ·turn away [^Lhide my face] from them ·then [^Lon that day], because they have done wrong and have turned to other gods.
