Deuteronomy 31:15-17
Amplified Bible
15 Then the Lord appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood beside the doorway of the tent. 16 The Lord said to Moses, “Behold, you are about to lie down [in death] with your fathers; and this people will arise and [a]play the prostitute (commit apostasy) with the foreign gods [of the people] of the land, where they go to be among them. They will abandon (turn away from) Me and break My covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then My anger will be kindled and burn against them in that day, and I will abandon (turn away from) them and hide My face from them. They will be devoured, and many evils and troubles will come on them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come on us?’

New International Version
15 Then the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the tent.(A) 16 And the Lord said to Moses: “You are going to rest with your ancestors,(B) and these people will soon prostitute(C) themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake(D) me and break the covenant I made with them. 17 And in that day I will become angry(E) with them and forsake(F) them; I will hide(G) my face(H) from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters(I) and calamities will come on them, and in that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come on us because our God is not with us?’(J)
