Deuteronomy 31:20-21

31:20 For after I have brought them ⁸  to the land I promised to their ⁹  ancestors – one flowing with milk and honey – and they ¹⁰  eat their fill ¹¹  and become fat, then they ¹²  will turn to other gods and worship them; they will reject me and break my covenant. 31:21 Then when ¹³  many disasters and distresses overcome them ¹⁴  this song will testify against them, ¹⁵  for their ¹⁶  descendants will not forget it. ¹⁷  I know the ¹⁸  intentions they have in mind ¹⁹  today, even before I bring them ²⁰  to the land I have promised.”

¹ tn Heb “will bless the fruit of your womb” (so NAB, NIV, NRSV).

² tc The MT reads only “the land.” Smr supplies עַם (’am, “people”) and LXX and its dependents supply “the inhabitants of the land.” The truncated form found in the MT is adequate to communicate the intended meaning; the words “the people of” are supplied in the translation for clarity.
