Deuteronomy 31:26

24 So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this law in a book, when they were finished,

25 that Moses commanded the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:

26 “Take this Book of the Law, ^aand put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there ^bas a witness against you;

27 ^afor I know your rebellion and your ^bstiff neck. If today, while I am yet alive with you, you have been rebellious against the Lord, then how much more after my death?

28 Gather to me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing ^aand call heaven and earth to witness against them.

29 For I know that after my death you will ^abecome utterly corrupt, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And ^bevil will befall you ^cin the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands.”
