Deuteronomy 31:17-19

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ On the day that I become angry with them and forsake them, I will hide my face from them, and they will be consumed. Many disasters and difficulties will fall upon them. On that day they will say, ‘Have these disasters happened to us because our God is not with us?’ ¹⁸ I will certainly hide my face that day on account of all their wickedness in turning to other gods. ¹⁹ Now write this song and teach it to the Israelites. Put it in their mouths, so that this song can be a witness for me against the Israelites.
