Deuteronomy 31:28-32:6

English Standard Version

²⁸Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak ^(A)these words in their ears and ^(B)call heaven and earth to witness against them. ²⁹For I know that after my death ^(C)you will surely act corruptly and turn aside from the way that I have commanded you. And ^(D)in the days to come ^(E)evil will befall you, because you will do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, ^(F)provoking him to anger through the work of your hands.”

The Song of Moses

³⁰Then Moses spoke the words of this song until they were finished, in the ears of all the assembly of Israel:

32 “Give ear, ^(G)O heavens, and I will speak,
    and let ^(H)the earth hear the words of my mouth.
²May ^(I)my teaching drop as the rain,
    my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
    and ^(J)like showers upon the herb.
³For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
    ascribe ^(K)greatness to our God!

⁴^(L)“The Rock, ^(M)his work is perfect,
    for ^(N)all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and ^(O)without iniquity,
    just and upright is he.
⁵They have dealt corruptly with him;
    they are no longer his children ^(P)because they are blemished;
    they are ^(Q)a crooked and twisted generation.
⁶Do you thus repay the Lord,
    you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^(R)your father, who ^(S)created you,
    who ^(T)made you and established you?
