20 But the Lord has taken you and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him the people of his inheritance, as ye are this day.
21 Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me for your sakes and swore that I should not go over Jordan and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the Lord thy God gives thee for an inheritance.
22 Therefore, I must die in this land and will not pass the Jordan, but ye shall pass and inherit that good land.
23 Keep yourselves, do not forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he established with you, and make yourselves a graven image or the likeness of any thing, which the Lord thy God has forbidden thee.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.
25 When thou shalt beget children and grandchildren and ye shall have remained long in the land and shall corrupt yourselves and make a graven image or the likeness of any thing and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger,
26 I put heaven and earth as witnesses today that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land unto which ye pass the Jordan to inherit it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it without being utterly destroyed.
