Book 05 : DEUTERONOMY - Chapter 031
031:001
And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old
this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath
said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan
031:002
The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will
destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess
them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD
hath said
031:003
And the LORD shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og,
kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom he
destroyed
031:004
And the LORD shall give them up before your face, that ye may
do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have
commanded you
031:005
Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of
them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee;
he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee
031:006
And Moses called unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight
of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must
go with this people unto the land which the LORD hath sworn
unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to
inherit it
031:007
And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be
with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear
not, neither be dismayed
031:008
And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests
the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of the
LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel
031:009
And Moses commanded them, saying, At the end of every seven
years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast
of tabernacles
031:010
When all Israel is come to appear before the LORD thy God in
the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law
before all Israel in their hearing
031:011
Gather the people together, men and women, and children, and
thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and
that they may learn, and fear the LORD your God, and observe
to do all the words of this law
031:012
And that their children, which have not known any thing, may
hear, and learn to fear the LORD your God, as long as ye live
in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess it
031:013
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that
thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the
tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge.
And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the
tabernacle of the congregation
031:014
And the LORD appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a
cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the
tabernacle
031:015
And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with
thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring
after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go
to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant
which I have made with them
031:016
Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I
will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they
shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall
them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils
come upon us, because our God is not among us
031:017
And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils
which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto
other gods
031:018
Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the
children of Israel: put it in their mouths, that this song may
be a witness for me against the children of Israel
031:019
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware
unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they
shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then
will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke
me, and break my covenant
031:020
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
031:021
Moses therefore wrote this song the same day, and taught it
the children of Israel
031:022
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
031:023
And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the
words of this law in a book, until they were finished
031:024
That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the
covenant of the LORD, saying
031:025
Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark
of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for
a witness against thee
031:026
For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I
am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious
against the LORD; and how much more after my death
031:027
Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your
officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call
heaven and earth to record against them
031:028
For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt
yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded
you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye
will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger
through the work of your hands
031:029
And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel
the words of this song, until they were ended
