Deuteronomy 31:21-23
English Standard Version
21 And when many evils and troubles have come upon them, this song shall confront them as (A)a witness (for it will live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring). For (B)I know what they are inclined to do even today, before I have brought them into the land that I swore to give.” 22 So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel.
23 (C)And the Lord[a] commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, (D)“Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. (E)I will be with you.”

Deuteronomy 31:21-23
King James Version
21 And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
22 Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel.
23 And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.
