For I know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against the LORD; and how much more after my death?
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 27 is found in chapter 31 of Deuteronomy. Moses finishes writing the words of the law and commands that they be placed beside the ark as a witness. He acknowledges that he knows the people’s tendency to rebel even before his death. The song that will later be proclaimed will serve precisely to remind the people of their history and confront them with their future unfaithfulness.

Denn ich kenne deinen Ungehorsam und deine Halsstarrigkeit. Siehe, wo ich noch heute mit euch lebe, seid ihr ungehorsam gewesen wider den HERRN; wie viel mehr nach meinem Tode!
Porque yo conozco tu rebelión, y tu cerviz dura: he aquí que aun viviendo yo hoy con vosotros, sois rebeldes a Jehová; y ¿cuánto más después que yo fuere muerto?
Porque yo conozco tu rebelión y tu dura cerviz. Si aun hoy, mientras vivo con ustedes, han sido rebeldes contra Jehová, ¡cuánto más después de mi muerte!
Car je connais ton esprit de rébellion et la roideur de ton cou. Si vous êtes rebelles contre l'Eternel pendant que je suis encore vivant au milieu de vous, combien plus le serez-vous après ma mort!
Perciocchè io conosco la tua ribellione, e il tuo collo duro; ecco oggi, essendo io ancora in vita appresso di voi, voi siete stati ribelli contro al Signore; e quanto più lo sarete dopo la mia morte?
Porque conheço a tua rebelião e a tua dura cerviz; eis que, vivendo eu ainda hoje convosco, rebeldes fostes contra o SENHOR; e quanto mais depois da minha morte?
因為我知道你們是悖逆的,是硬著頸項的。看哪,我今日還活著與你們同在,你們尚且悖逆耶和華,何況我死後呢?
