Deuteronomy 31:19-21

New Catholic Bible

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. ²⁰ When I brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land that I promised to their fathers, and when they ate their fill and flourished, they will turn to other gods and serve them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant. ²¹ When many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know their inclinations even before I bring them into the land that I promised them by oath.”
