Deuteronomy 31:20-22

Complete Jewish Bible

(RY: vii, LY: vi) ²⁰ For when I have brought them into the land I swore to their ancestors, flowing with milk and honey; and they have eaten their fill, grown fat and turned to other gods, serving them and despising me, and broken my covenant; ²¹ then, after many calamities and troubles have come upon them, this song will testify before them as a witness, because their descendants will still be reciting it and will not have forgotten it. For I know how they think even now, even before I have brought them into the land about which I swore.” ²² So Moshe wrote this song that same day and taught it to the people of Isra’el.
