Deuteronomy 31:18-20
New English Translation

18 But I will certainly[a] hide myself at that time because of all the wickedness they[b] will have done by turning to other gods. 19 Now write down for yourselves the following song and teach it to the Israelites. Put it into their very mouths so that this song may serve as my witness against the Israelites! 20 For after I have brought them[c] to the land I promised to their[d] ancestors—one flowing with milk and honey—and they[e] eat their fill[f] and become fat, then they[g] will turn to other gods and worship them; they will reject me and break my covenant.
