Deuteronomy 31:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ Then I will become very angry at them, and I will leave them. I will turn away from them, and they will be destroyed. Many terrible things will happen to them. Then they will say, ‘It is because God is not with us that these terrible things are happening.’ ¹⁸ I will surely turn away from them then, because they have done wrong and have turned to other gods.

¹⁹ “Now write down this song and teach it to the Israelites. Then have them sing it, because it will be my witness against them.
