26I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto you go over the Jordan to possess it; you shall not prolong your days on it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
27Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you shall be left few in number among the nations, where Yahweh shall lead you away.
28There you shall serve gods, the work of men`s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
29But from there you shall seek Yahweh your God, and you shall find him, when you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
30When you are in oppression, and all these things are come on you, in the latter days you shall return to Yahweh your God, and listen to his voice:
31for Yahweh your God is a merciful God; he will not fail you, neither destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.
32For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been [any such thing] as this great thing is, or has been heard like it?
