Deuteronomy 31:16-18
King James Version
16 And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?
18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

Lexham English Bible
16 And Yahweh said to Moses, “Look, you are about to lie down with your ancestors,[a] and this people will arise and they[b] will play the prostitute after the foreign gods[c] of the land to which they are going.[d] 17 And my anger shall flare up against them[e] on that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they[f] shall become as prey, and disasters and troubles shall find[g] them,[h] and they[i] shall say on that day, ‘Is it not because our[j] God is not in our[k] midst that these disasters have found[l] us?’[m] 18 But I will certainly hide my face on that day, because of all of the evil that they[n] did because they[o] turned to other gods.
