Deuteronomy 31:17-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 (A)At that time my anger will flare up against them; I will forsake them and hide my face from them; they will become a prey to be devoured, and much evil and distress will befall them. At that time they will indeed say, “Is it not because our God is not in our midst that these evils have befallen us?” 18 Yet I will surely hide my face at that time because of all the evil they have done in turning to other gods. 19 Now, write out this song(B) for yourselves. Teach it to the Israelites and have them recite it, so that this song may be a witness for me against the Israelites.
