You are about to join your ancestors.[a] Afterwards, this people will rebel[b] and commit prostitution with the foreign gods of the land that they are about to enter to possess.

I’ll hide my face from them, they will be consumed, and many evils and distresses will find them. When this happens,[f] they[g] will say, ‘These troubles have happened to us because God isn’t among us.’ 18 I’ll surely hide my face in that day on account of the evil that they[h] will have done, because they[i] will have turned to other gods.”
