Deuteronomy 31:18-21

The Voice

¹⁸ And they’ll be right. In those days, I won’t look at them when they pray because they’ll have done such an evil thing by turning to other gods. ¹⁹ So I want you to write down this song and teach it to the children of Israel. Teach them to sing it, so it can be a witness for Me against them. ^20-21 I know what they’re already inclined to do before I’ve even brought them into the land I promised them. I know that when I’ve brought them into the land I promised to give to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey, when they have had more than enough to eat and they’ve grown fat, they’ll turn to other gods and worship them. They’ll reject Me and break My covenant. Then, when they’re in so much trouble and distress, this song will testify against them since their descendants will still be singing it.
