Deuteronomy 31:24-29

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁴ When Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, ²⁵ he gave this command to the Levites, who carry the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord:

²⁶ “Take this Book of the Law, and place it beside the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord your God, and let it remain there as a witness against you. ²⁷ I certainly know how rebellious and stubborn you are. Even while I am still alive and among you today, you are rebels against the Lord. So how much more after my death! ²⁸ Assemble all the elders of your tribes and your officials before me, and I will speak all these words in their hearing, and I will call the heavens and the earth to witness against them. ²⁹ I know that after my death you will act corruptly and turn from the way that I have commanded you, and that evil will come on you in future days when you do evil in the sight of the Lord by provoking him to anger by the work of your hands.”
