Deuteronomy 31:20-22

Living Bible

²⁰ When I have brought them into the land I promised their ancestors—a land ‘flowing with milk and honey’—and when they have become fat and prosperous, and worship other gods and despise me and break my contract, ²¹ and great disasters come upon them, then this song will remind them of the reason for their woes. (For this song will live from generation to generation.) I know now, even before they enter the land, what these people are like.”

²² So, on that very day, Moses wrote down the words of the song and taught it to the Israelites.
