Deuteronomy 31:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ In that day I will become angry with them. I will desert them. I will turn my face away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many horrible troubles and hard times will come on them. On that day they will say, ‘Trouble has come on us. Our God isn’t with us!’ ¹⁸ I will certainly turn away from them on that day. I will do it because they did a very evil thing when they turned to other gods.

¹⁹ “I want you to write down a song and teach it to the Israelites. Have them sing it. It will be my witness against them.
