Deuteronomy 31:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Now therefore write ye this [a]song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may be my witness against the children of Israel.
20 For I will bring them into the land (which I sware unto their fathers) that floweth with milk and honey: and they shall eat and fill themselves, and wax fat: [b]then shall they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and contemn me, and break my covenant.
21 And then when many adversities and tribulations shall come upon them, this song shall [c]answer them to their faces as a witness: for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their posterity: for I know their imagination, which they go about even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.

Deuteronomy 31:19-21
New International Version
19 “Now write(A) down this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness(B) for me against them. 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their ancestors,(C) and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods(D) and worship them,(E) rejecting me and breaking my covenant.(F) 21 And when many disasters and calamities come on them,(G) this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do,(H) even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.”
