Deuteronomy 31:18-20
1599 Geneva Bible
18 But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the evil which they shall commit, in that they are turned unto other gods.
19 Now therefore write ye this [a]song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be my witness against the children of Israel.
20 For I will bring them into the land (which I sware unto their fathers) that floweth with milk and honey: and they shall eat and fill themselves, and wax fat: [b]then shall they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and contemn me, and break my covenant.

18 And I will certainly hide my face in that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.
19 “Now write(A) down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness(B) for me against them. 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,(C) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods(D) and worship them,(E) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.(F)
