31 Then Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel,
2 and said to them, “I am a hundred and twenty years old this day. I cannot go out and in anymore. Also, the LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan.’
3 “The LORD your God, He will go over before you. He will destroy these nations before you. And you shall possess them. Joshua, he shall go before you, as the LORD has said.
4 “And the LORD shall do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites (whom He destroyed), and to their land.
5 “And the LORD shall give them before you, so that you may do to them according to every Commandment which I have commanded you.
6 “Have courage, therefore, and be strong. Do not fear or be afraid of them. For the LORD your God Himself goes with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you.”
7 And Moses called Joshua and said to him in the sight of all Israel, “Be of a good courage and strong. For you shall go with this people to the land which the LORD has sworn to their fathers, to give them. And you shall give it to them to inherit.
8 “And the LORD Himself goes before you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear or be discomforted.”
9 And Moses wrote this Law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi (who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD) and to all the elders of Israel.
10 And Moses commanded them, saying, “Every seventh year, the year of freedom in the Feast of the Tabernacles,
11 “when all Israel shall come to appear before the LORD your God and the place which He shall choose, you shall read this Law before all Israel so that they may hear it.
12 “Gather the people together — men, women, children, and the stranger who is within your gates — so that they may hear, and that they may learn and fear the LORD your God, and keep and observe all the words of this Law,
13 “and that their children who have not known it may hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land to which you go over Jordan to possess.”
14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, the day has come that you must die. Call Joshua and stand in the Tabernacle of the Congregation so that I may give him a charge.” So, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.
15 And the LORD appeared in the Tabernacle, in the pillar of a cloud. And the pillar of the cloud stood over the door of the Tabernacle.
16 And the LORD said to Moses, “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. And this people will rise up and go a whoring after the gods of a strange land (wherever they go in) and will forsake Me and break My Covenant which I have made with them.
17 “Therefore, My wrath will grow hot against them on that day. And I will forsake them and will hide My Face from them. Then they shall be consumed. And many adversities and tribulations shall come upon them. “So, then, they will say, ‘Have not these troubles come upon me because God is not with me?’
18 “But I will surely hide My Face on that day because of all the evil which they shall commit on the day they are turned to other gods.
19 “Now, therefore, write this song for yourselves and teach it to the children of Israel. Put it in their mouths, so that this song may be My witness against the children of Israel.
20 “For I will bring them into the land which I swore to their fathers, that flows with milk and honey. And they shall eat, and fill themselves, and grow fat. Then they shall turn to other gods and serve them, and contemn Me and break My Covenant.
21 “And then, when many adversities and tribulations shall come upon them, this song shall answer them to their faces as a witness. For it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants. For I know the intent of their imagination even now, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”
22 Moses, therefore, wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel,
23 and gave Joshua, the son of Nun, a charge, and said, “Be strong and of a good courage. For you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I swore to them. And I will be with you.”
24 And when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this Law in a Book — when he had finished them —
25 then Moses commanded the Levites who bore the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD, saying,
26 “Take the Book of this Law and put it inside of the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD your God, so that it may be there for a witness against you.
27 “For I know your rebellion and your stiff neck. Behold, I am still alive with you this day and you are rebellious against the LORD. How much more so, then, after my death?
28 “Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, so that I may speak these words in their audience and call Heaven and Earth to record against them.
29 “For I am sure that after my death, you will be utterly corrupt and turn from the way which I have commanded you. Therefore, evil will come upon you in the end, because you will commit evil in the sight of the LORD by provoking Him to anger through the work of your hands.”
30 Thus Moses spoke the words of this song in the audience of all the Congregation of Israel, until he had ended them.
32 “Listen, you heavens, and I will speak. And let the Earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 “My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall still as the dew, as the shower upon the herbs and as the great rain upon the grass.
3 “For I will publish the Name of the LORD. Give glory to our God.
4 “Perfect is the work of the mighty God. For all His ways are judgment. God is true, and without wickedness. Just and righteous are He.
5 “They have corrupted themselves toward Him by their vice, not being his children, a perverse and crooked generation.
6 “Do you so reward the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? Is not He your father, Who has bought you? He has made you and established you.
7 “Remember the days of old. Consider the years of so many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.
8 “When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of Adam, He appointed the borders of the people, according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 “For the LORD’s portion is His people. Jacob is the lot of His inheritance.
10 “He found himself in the land of the wilderness, in a wasteland and roaring wilderness. He led him about. He taught him, kept him as the apple of His eye.
11 “As an eagle stirs up her nest — flutters over her birds, stretches out her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings —
12 “the LORD alone led him. And there was no strange god with him.
13 “He carried him up to the high places of the Earth, So that he might eat the fruits of the fields. And He caused him to suck honey out of the stone, and oil out of the hard rock.
14 “Butter from cattle, and milk from sheep with fat from the lambs, and rams fed in Bashan, and goats with the fat from the grains of wheat, and the red liquor of the grape have you drunk.
15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked. You are fat, you are thick, you are engorged with fatness. Therefore, he forsook God, Who made him, and did not regard the strong God of his salvation.
16 “They provoked Him with strange gods. They provoked Him to anger with abominations.
17 “They offered to demons, not to God, to gods whom they did not know, newcomers, whom their fathers did not fear.
18 “You have forgotten the mighty God Who begat you, and have forgotten the God Who formed you.
19 “The LORD then saw it and was angry, because of the provocation of His sons and of His daughters.
20 “And He said, ‘I will hide My Face from them. I will see what their end shall be. For they are a perverse generation, children in whom there is no faith.
21 ‘They have moved Me to jealousy with that which is not God. They have provoked Me to anger with their vanities; and I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people. I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 ‘For fire is kindled in My wrath, and shall burn to the bottom of Hell, and shall consume the Earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 ‘I will use all My plagues upon them. I will heap My arrows upon them.
24 ‘They shall be empty with hunger and consumed with heat and bitter destruction. I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the venom of serpents in the dust.
25 ‘The sword shall kill them outside and fear shall be within them: the young man, the young woman, the suckling and the man of gray hair.
26 “I have said, ‘I would have scattered them abroad. I would have made their remembrance cease from among men,
27 ‘if not for my fear of the fury of the enemy, lest their adversaries should grow proud, lest they should say, “Our high hand, and not the LORD, has done all this.’
8 “Also I say to you whoever shall confess Me before man, him shall the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God.
9 “But whoever shall deny Me before man shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 “And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who shall blaspheme the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven.
11 “And when they shall bring you to the synagogues, and to the rulers and princes, take no thought how or what you shall answer, or what you shall speak.

13 And one of the crowd said to Him, “Master, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
14 And He said to him, “Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?”
15 Therefore He said to them, “Perceive and beware of covetousness. For though one has abundance, his life does not consist of his riches.”
16 And He put forth a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man brought forth fruits plentifully.
17 “Therefore he thought to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do? I have no place to store my fruits?’
18 “And He said, ‘I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones. And I will gather all my grain and my goods in there.
19 ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Live at ease. Eat, drink, and be merry!”
20 “But God said to him, ‘O fool! This night your soul shall be required from you. Then whose things shall those be which you have provided?
21 “So is the one who gathers riches for himself and is not rich toward God.”
22 And He spoke to His disciples, “Therefore I say to you take no thought for your life (what you shall eat) or for your body (what you shall wear).
23 “Life is more than food, and the body than the clothing.
24 “Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap. Nor do they have storehouse or barn. And yet God feeds them. How much better are you than birds?
25 “And who of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
26 “If you then are not able to do the least thing, why do you worry about the rest?
27 “Consider how the lilies grow. They neither labor nor spin. Yet I say to you that Solomon himself, in all his royalty, was not clothed like one of these.
28 “If then God so clothes the grass (which is in the field today, and tomorrow is cast into the oven) how much more will he clothe you? O you of little faith!
29 “Therefore, do not ask what you shall eat or what you shall drink, or have an anxious mind.
30 “For the people of the world all seek for such things. And your Father knows that you need these things.

32 In spite of all this, they still sinned and did not believe His wondrous works.
33 Therefore, He ended their days in futility, and their years in dismay.
34 And when He slew them, they sought Him; and they returned and sought God earnestly.
35 And they remembered that God was their strength, and the Most High God their Redeemer.
36 But they flattered Him with their mouth and lied to Him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not upright with Him; nor were they faithful in His Covenant.
38 Yet, He, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; but oftentimes called back His anger and did not stir up all His wrath.
39 For He remembered that they were flesh, a wind that passes and does not come again.
40 How often did they provoke Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert?
41 Indeed, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
42 They remembered neither His hand nor the day when He delivered them from the enemy
43 nor Him Who set His signs in Egypt and His wonders in the field of Zoan.
44 Who turned their rivers into blood, and their floods, so that they could not drink.
45 He sent a swarm of flies among them which devoured them, and frogs which destroyed them.
46 He also gave their fruits to the caterpillar, and their labor to the grasshopper.
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, and their wild fig trees with the hailstone.
48 He also gave their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to the thunderbolts.
49 He cast upon them the fierceness of His anger, indignation and wrath, and troubled them by sending out evil angels.
50 He made a path for His anger. He did not spare their soul from death but gave their life to the pestilence.
51 He struck all the firstborn in Egypt, even the beginning of their strength, in the tabernacles of Ham.
52 But, He made His people go out like sheep and led them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Indeed, He carried them out safely, and they did not fear; and the sea covered their enemies.
54 And He brought them to the borders of His Sanctuary, to this Mountain which His right hand purchased.
55 He also cast out the heathen before them and caused them to fall to the lot of His inheritance; and made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tabernacles.
21 No iniquity shall come to the just. But the wicked are full of evil.
22 Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD. But those who deal truly are His delight.
23 The wise conceal knowledge. But the heart of fools publishes foolishness.
