Deuteronomy 31:14-29 — Israel's Rebellion Predicted

Deut.31.14-29

¹⁴And Yahweh said to Moses, 'Look, your days have drawn near for you to die. Call Joshua, and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, that I may commission him .' So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting. ¹⁵Then Yahweh appeared in the tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance of the tent. ¹⁶And Yahweh said to Moses, 'Look, you are about to lie down with your fathers, and this people will rise up and whore after the foreign gods of the land into whose midst they are going. They will forsake me and break my Covenant that I made with them.' ¹⁷Then my anger will burn against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide my face from them, and they will be devoured. Many evils and troubles will come upon them, and in that day they will say, 'Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?' ¹⁸And I will surely hide my face in that day because of all the evil they have done, because they have turned to other gods. ¹⁹So now, write down this song for yourselves and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel. ²⁰For I will bring them into the land that I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they will eat and be satisfied and grow fat. Then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and they will spurn me and break my Covenant. ²¹And when many evils and troubles come upon them, this song will testify before them as a witness, for it will not be forgotten from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their inclination, what they are forming today, before I bring them into the land that I swore to give them.' ²²So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the children of Israel. ²³Then Yahweh commissioned Joshua son of Nun and said, 'Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.' ²⁴And when Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book, to the very end, ²⁵Moses commanded the Levites, who carried the ark of the Covenant of Yahweh, saying, ²⁶'Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the Covenant of Yahweh your God, and let it remain there as a witness against you.' ²⁷For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Look, while I am still alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Yahweh. How much more, then, after my death! ²⁸Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them. ²⁹For I know that after my death you will surely corrupt yourselves and turn aside from the way that I commanded you. And evil will befall you in the latter days, because you will do what is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him by the work of your hands.
