Deuteronomy 4:21-31

Deuteronomy 4:21-31

[21] Furthermore the LORD  was angry  with me for your sakes,  and sware  that I should not go over  Jordan,  and that I should not go  in unto that good  land,  which the LORD  thy God  giveth  thee for an inheritance:  [22] But I must die  in this land,  I must not go over  Jordan:  but ye shall go over,  and possess  that good  land.  [23] Take heed  unto yourselves, lest ye forget  the covenant  of the LORD  your God,  which he made  with you, and make  you a graven image,  or the likeness  of any  thing, which the LORD  thy God  hath forbidden  thee. [24] For the LORD  thy God  is a consuming  fire,  even a jealous  God.  [25] When thou shalt beget  children,  and ye shall have remained long  in the land,  and shall corrupt  yourselves, and make  a graven image,  or the likeness  of any thing, and shall do  evil  in the sight  of the LORD  thy God,  to provoke him to anger:  [26] heaven  and earth  to witness  against you this day,  that ye shall soon  utterly  from off the land  whereunto ye go over  Jordan  to possess  it; ye shall not prolong  your days  upon it, but shall utterly  [27] And the LORD  shall scatter  you among the nations,  and ye shall be left  few  in number  among the heathen,  whither the LORD  shall lead  [28] And there ye shall serve  gods,  the work  of men's  hands,  wood  and stone,  which neither see,  nor hear,  nor eat,  nor smell.  [29] But if from thence thou shalt seek  the LORD  thy God,  thou shalt find  him, if thou seek  him with all thy heart  and with all thy soul.  [30] When thou art in tribulation,  and all these things  are come  upon thee, even in the latter  days,  if thou turn  to the LORD  thy God,  and shalt be obedient  unto his voice;  [31] (For the LORD  thy God  is a merciful  God;)  he will not forsake  thee, neither destroy  thee, nor forget  the covenant  of thy fathers  which he sware  unto them.
