Deuteronomy 31:21

31:21 Then when ¹  many disasters and distresses overcome them ²  this song will testify against them, ³  for their ⁴  descendants will not forget it. ⁵  I know the ⁶  intentions they have in mind ⁷  today, even before I bring them ⁸  to the land I have promised.”

Deuteronomy 31:29

31:29 For I know that after I die you will totally ⁹  corrupt yourselves and turn away from the path I have commanded you to walk. Disaster will confront you in the days to come because you will act wickedly ¹⁰  before the Lord, inciting him to anger because of your actions.” ¹¹
