DEUTERONOMY 31:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the Lord said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them.”
The LORD said to Moses: 'Soon you will lie down with your ancestors. Then this people will begin to prostitute themselves to the foreign gods in their midst, the gods of the land into which they are going; they will forsake me and break my covenant with me' — God's prophecy: Israel will turn to idolatry ('v'hayu'al acharei elohei nekar ha-aretz'). Apostasy is foreseen.
