Deuteronomy 31:19-21

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ “Now write down this song and teach it to the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel]. ·Then have them sing it [^LPlace it in their mouth], because it will be my witness against ·them [^Lthe sons/^Tchildren of Israel]. ²⁰ When I bring them into the land I ·promised [swore] to their ·ancestors [fathers], a ·fertile land [^Lland flowing with milk and honey; Ex. 3:8], they will eat as much as they want and get fat. Then they will turn to other gods and serve them. They will ·reject [despise] me and break my ·Agreement [Covenant; Treaty]. ²¹ Then when many troubles and terrible things happen to them, this song will testify against them, because the song will not be forgotten by their ·descendants [^Lseed]. I know what they ·plan [incline; Gen. 6:5; 8:21] to do, even before I take them into the land I ·promised [swore to] them.”
