Deuteronomy 4:27-31

English Standard Version

²⁷ And the Lord ^(A)will scatter you among the peoples, ^(B)and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. ²⁸ And ^(C)there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, ^(D)that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. ^29 (E)But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. ³⁰ When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you ^(F)in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. ³¹ For the Lord your God is ^(G)a merciful God. ^(H)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
