Deuteronomy 4:26

22but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.

23Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which the LORD your God has forbidden you.

24For the LORD your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

25When you father children and children’s children, and you have been long in the land, and then corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and do that which is evil in the LORD your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,

26I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.

27The LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will lead you away.

28There you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29But from there you shall seek the LORD your God, and you will find him when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.

30When you are in oppression, and all these things have come on you, in the latter days you shall return to the LORD your God and listen to his voice.
