Moses Warns The People

27 For, I, know thy perverseness, and thy stiff neck, - lo! while I am yet alive with you to-day, ye are, quarrelling, with Yahweh, and how much more after my death? 28 Call together unto me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, - and let me speak in their hearing these words, and let me take to witness against them the heavens and the earth. 29 For I know that after my death, ye will break faith, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you, - and calamity will befall you in the afterpart of the days, because ye will do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him with the work of your own hands.
