Deuteronomy 31:24-29

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁴ Finally, Moses finished writing all the words of these teachings in a book. ²⁵ He gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the Lord’s promise: ²⁶ “Take this Book of Teachings, and put it next to the ark of the promise of the Lord your God, where it will be a witness against you. ²⁷ I know how rebellious you are. You are impossible to deal with. While I am alive and still with you, you are rebelling against the Lord. How much more rebellious will you be after I die? ²⁸ Assemble all the leaders of your tribes and your officers in front of me. As they listen, I will speak these words and call on heaven and earth to testify against them. ²⁹ I know that after I die you will become thoroughly corrupt and turn from the way I have commanded you to live. In the days to come disasters will happen to you because you will make the Lord furious by doing what he considers evil.”
