Deuteronomy 4:25-31
Legacy Standard Bible

25 “When you [a]become the father of children and children’s children and remain long in the land and (A)act corruptly and (B)make [b]a graven image in the form of anything and (C)do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh your God so as to provoke Him to anger, 26 I (D)call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will (E)surely perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to possess it. You shall not prolong your days on it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And Yahweh will (F)scatter you among the peoples, and you will remain few in number among the nations where Yahweh drives you. 28 (G)And there you will serve gods, the work of man’s hands, (H)wood and stone, (I)which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell. 29 (J)But from there you will seek Yahweh your God, and you will find Him, for you will search for Him (K)with all your heart and all your soul. 30 When you (L)are in distress and all these things have come upon you, (M)in the last days (N)you will return to Yahweh your God and listen to His voice. 31 For Yahweh your God is a (O)compassionate God; (P)He will not fail you nor (Q)destroy you nor (R)forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.

Deuteronomy 4:25-31
Lexham English Bible

25 “When you have had children and grandchildren[a] and you have grown old in the land and you act corruptly and you make a divine image of the form of anything and you do evil in the eyes of Yahweh your God, thus provoking him to anger, 26 I call[b] to witness against you today the heaven and the earth, that you will perish soon and completely from the land that you are crossing the Jordan into it to take possession of it; you will not live long on it,[c] but you will be completely destroyed. 27 And Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number[d] among the nations to where Yahweh will lead you.[e] 28 And you will there serve gods made by human hands,[f] of wood and stone, gods that cannot see and cannot hear and cannot eat and cannot smell. 29 But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God and will find him, if you seek him with all your heart and with all your soul.[g] 30 In your distress[h] when[i] all these things have found you in the latter days,[j] then[k] you will return to Yahweh your God, and you will listen to his voice. 31 For Yahweh your God is a compassionate God; he will not abandon you,[l] and he will not destroy you, and he will not forget the covenant of your ancestors[m] that he swore to them.
