Deuteronomy 4:25-27

The Voice

²⁵ It would be disastrous if, after you’ve lived in the land for a long time and had children and grandchildren, you made an idol in any form. You know the Eternal your God considers this an evil thing to do, and it would make Him furious. ²⁶ I call the heaven and the land as witnesses against you today, that if you do this, even though you’re going to cross the Jordan and take possession of the land, you won’t last long on it. You will die quickly—you will certainly be destroyed. ²⁷ The Eternal will scatter what’s left of you among all the other nations. Only a few of you will be left in each of the nations He takes you to.
