1
And it came to pass that יהוה (YHVH) did speak again unto Moses, saying: Behold, thou shalt leave this people;
2
And it shall come to pass that these people will rise up in adultery and go a whoring after the elohim of the strangers of the land, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.
3
And then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them.
4
And they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day:
5
Are not these evils come upon us because our Elohim is not among us?
6
¶ And so it shall be that I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto the elohim of man.
7
Now, therefore, write ye this song for you and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.
8
For when I shall have brought them into the land which I swore unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey,
9
And they shall have eaten and filled themselves and waxen fat, then will they turn unto other elohim, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.
10
¶ And it shall come to pass that when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness;
11
For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed;
12
For I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.
