Deuteronomy 31:17–21

¹⁷My anger will burn against them on that day;^g I will abandon them and hide my face from them so that they will become easy prey.^h Many troubles and afflictions will come to them. On that day they will say, ‘Haven’t these troubles come to us because our God is no longer with us?’ ¹⁸I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all the evil they have done by turning to other gods. ¹⁹Therefore write down this songⁱ for yourselves and teach it to the Israelites; have them sing it,^A so that this song may be a witness for me against the Israelites. ²⁰When I bring them into the land I swore to give their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey,^j they will eat their fill^k and prosper.^B They will turn to other gods and worship them, despising me^l and breaking my covenant.^{m 21}And when many troubles and afflictions come to them, this song will testify against them, because^C their descendants will not have forgotten it. For I know what they are prone to do,^D even before I bring them into the land I swore to give them.”
