And it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land which I sware.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 21 is found in chapter 31 of Deuteronomy. God announces to Moses that Israel will turn away after entering the land and commands him to write a song that will serve as a witness against the people. Joshua is again confirmed as successor. The section introduces an important tension: even after all the warnings, God anticipates future unfaithfulness while continuing to prepare Joshua to lead the people according to his purpose.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare Deuteronomy 31:21 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
Deutsch · L1912 Und wenn sie dann viel Unglück und Angst betreten wird, so soll dieses Lied ihnen antworten zum Zeugnis; denn es soll nicht vergessen werden aus dem Mund ihrer Nachkommen.

Italiano · DIO1885 Onde, quando gran mali ed angosce gli saranno avvenute, questo Cantico testimonierà contro a lui in faccia; perciocchè non sarà dimenticato per non esser più nella bocca della sua progenie; conciossiachè io conosca la sua natura, ciò ch’egli fa oggi, innanzi ch’io l’abbia introdotto nel paese, ch’io ho giurato
