031:020 For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then will they turn to other gods, and serve them, and despise me, and break my covenant. 031:021 It shall happen, when many evils and troubles are come on them, that this song shall testify before them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they frame this day, before I have brought them into the land which I swore. 031:022 So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel. 031:023 He gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them: and I will be with you. 031:024 It happened, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished, 031:025 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying, 031:026 Take this book of the law, and put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, that it may be there for a witness against you. 031:027 For I know your rebellion, and your stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, you have been rebellious against Yahweh; and how much more after my death? 031:028 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to witness against them. 031:029 For I know that after my death you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do that which is evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands. 031:030 Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, until they were finished. 032:001 Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak. Let the earth hear the words of my mouth. 032:002 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb. 032:003 For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh. Ascribe greatness to our God! 032:004 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice: a God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and right is he. 032:005 They have dealt corruptly with him, [they are] not his children, [it is] their blemish. [They are] a perverse and crooked generation. 032:006 Do you thus requite Yahweh, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.
