26 ^aI call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you will soon utterly perish from the land which you cross over the Jordan to possess; you will not¹ prolong your days in it, but will be utterly destroyed.

27 And the Lord ^awill scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you.

28 And ^athere you will serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, ^bwhich neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell.
