Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 4:26–27

²⁶I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed.

²⁷Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
