22 That day Moses wrote down this song and taught it to the Israelites. 23 The LORD gave this command to Joshua, son of Nun: |Be strong and courageous, because you will bring the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you.| 24 Finally, Moses finished writing all the words of these teachings in a book. 25 He gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the LORD's promise: 26 |Take this Book of Teachings, and put it next to the ark of the promise of the LORD your God, where it will be a witness against you. 27 I know how rebellious you are. You are impossible to deal with. While I am alive and still with you, you are rebelling against the LORD. How much more rebellious will you be after I die? 28 Assemble all the leaders of your tribes and your officers in front of me. As they listen, I will speak these words and call on heaven and earth to testify against them. 29 I know that after I die you will become thoroughly corrupt and turn from the way I have commanded you to live. In the days to come disasters will happen to you because you will make the LORD furious by doing what he considers evil.| 30 Then, as the whole congregation of Israel listened, Moses recited all the words of this song: Deuteronomy 31:22-30, God's Word Translation.
