As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

Verse 20 is found in chapter 8 of Deuteronomy. Moses again warns against forgetting the Lord when Israel achieves economic and military prosperity. Wealth can create the illusion that its own strength obtained the land. Therefore the people must remember that God is the one who gives the ability to produce wealth and remains faithful to the covenant. Forgetting God would lead to the same destruction that affected the nations expelled from the land.

eben wie die Heiden, die der HERR umbringt vor eurem Angesicht, so werdet ihr auch umkommen, darum daß ihr nicht gehorsam seid der Stimme des HERRN, eures Gottes.
Como las gentes que Jehová destruirá delante de vosotros, así pereceréis; por cuanto no habréis atendido a la voz de Jehová vuestro Dios.
Como las naciones que Jehová hace perecer delante de ustedes, así perecerán ustedes por no escuchar la voz de Jehová su Dios».
Vous périrez comme les nations que l'Eternel fait périr devant vous, parce que vous n'aurez point écouté la voix de l'Eternel, votre Dieu.
Come saran perite le nazioni che il Signore fa perire d’innanzi a voi, così perirete; perciocchè non avrete ubbidito alla voce del Signore Iddio vostro
Como as nações que o SENHOR destruiu diante de vós, assim vós perecereis, porquanto não queríeis obedecer à voz do SENHOR vosso Deus.
耶和華在你們面前怎樣使列國滅亡,你們也必照樣滅亡,因為你們不聽從耶和華─你們上帝的話。」
