And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 20 is found in chapter 32 of Deuteronomy. Jeshurun grows fat and abandons the Rock who created him, following foreign gods. Prosperity again becomes the context of unfaithfulness. God announces judgment and the hiding of his face, but also limits the extent of destruction so that Israel’s enemies will not attribute its downfall to their own superiority.

und er sprach: Ich will mein Antlitz vor ihnen verbergen, will sehen, was ihnen zuletzt widerfahren wird; denn es ist eine verkehrte Art, es sind untreue Kinder.
Y dijo: Esconderé de ellos mi rostro, Veré cuál será su postrimería: Que son generación de perversidades, Hijos sin fe.
Dijo: “Esconderé de ellos mi rostro; veré cuál será su fin, porque son una generación perversa, hijos en los que no hay fidelidad.
Il a dit: Je leur cacherai ma face, Je verrai quelle sera leur fin; Car c'est une race perverse, Ce sont des enfants infidèles.
E ha detto: Io nasconderò da loro la mia faccia, Io vedrò qual sarà il lor fine; Conciossiachè sieno una generazione perversissima, Figliuoli ne’ quali non v’è alcuna lealtà.
E disse: Esconderei o meu rosto deles, verei qual será o seu fim; porque são geração perversa, filhos em quem não há lealdade.
說:『我要轉臉離開他們, 看他們的結局如何。 他們是極乖謬的世代, 是不忠實的兒女。
