For the LORD took you and brought you out of
the iron furnace of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance,
as it is come to pass this day. Furthermore, the LORD was angry
with me for your sakes and sware, that I should not go over Iordan
and that I should not go unto that good land, which the LORD thy
God giveth thee to inheritance. For I must die in this land, and
shall not go over Iordan: But ye shall go over and conquer that
good land. Take heed unto yourselves therefore, that ye forget not
the appointment of the LORD your God which he made with you, and
that ye make you no graven image of whatsoever it be that the LORD
thy God hath forbidden thee. For the LORD thy God is a consuming
fire, and a jealous God. If after thou hast gotten children and
children's children and hast dwelt long in the land, ye shall mar
yourselves and make graven images after the likeness of whatsoever
it be, and shall work wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God,
to provoke him. I call heaven and earth to record unto you this
day, that ye shall shortly perish from off the land whither ye go
over Iordan to possess it: Ye shall not prolong your days therein,
but shall shortly be destroyed. And the LORD shall scatter you
among nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the people
whither the LORD shall bring you: and there ye shall serve gods
which are the works of man's hand, wood and stone which neither
see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
