Deuteronomy 4:25-31
New International Version
25 After you have had children and grandchildren and have lived in the land a long time—if you then become corrupt(A) and make any kind of idol,(B) doing evil(C) in the eyes of the Lord your God and arousing his anger, 26 I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses(D) against you(E) this day that you will quickly perish(F) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed. 27 The Lord will scatter(G) you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive(H) among the nations to which the Lord will drive you. 28 There you will worship man-made gods(I) of wood and stone,(J) which cannot see or hear or eat or smell.(K) 29 But if from there you seek(L) the Lord your God, you will find him if you seek him with all your heart(M) and with all your soul.(N) 30 When you are in distress(O) and all these things have happened to you, then in later days(P) you will return(Q) to the Lord your God and obey him. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful(R) God; he will not abandon(S) or destroy(T) you or forget(U) the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Deuteronomy 4:25-31
English Standard Version
25 “When you father children and children's children, and have grown old in the land, (A)if you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and (B)by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, 26 I (C)call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord (D)will scatter you among the peoples, (E)and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And (F)there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, (G)that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 (H)But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you (I)in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. 31 For the Lord your God is (J)a merciful God. (K)He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them.
