Deuteronomy 31:20-22
Holman Christian Standard Bible
20 When I bring them into the land I swore to give their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey,(A) they will eat their fill(B) and prosper.[a] They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising Me and breaking My covenant.(C) 21 And when many troubles and afflictions come to them, this song will testify against them, because[b] their descendants will not have forgotten it. For I know what they are prone to do,[c] even before I bring them into the land I swore to give them.” 22 So Moses wrote down this song on that day and taught it to the Israelites.

New International Version
20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,(A) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods(B) and worship them,(C) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.(D) 21 And when many disasters and calamities come on them,(E) this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do,(F) even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” 22 So Moses wrote(G) down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.
