Deuteronomy 31:21 in Context — Deuteronomy 31
19 Maintenant, écrivez ce cantique. Enseigne-le aux enfants d’Israël, mets-le dans leur bouche, et que ce cantique me serve de témoin contre les enfants d’Israël.
20 Car je mènerai ce peuple dans le pays que j’ai juré à ses pères de lui donner, pays où coulent le lait et le miel; il mangera, se rassasiera, s’engraissera; puis il se tournera vers d’autres dieux et les servira, il me méprisera et violera mon alliance;
21 quand alors il sera atteint par une multitude de maux et d’afflictions, ce cantique, qui ne sera point oublié et que la postérité aura dans la bouche, déposera comme témoin contre ce peuple. Je connais, en effet, ses dispositions, qui déjà se manifestent aujourd’hui, avant même que je l’aie fait entrer dans le pays que j’ai juré de lui donner.
22 En ce jour-là, Moïse écrivit ce cantique, et il l’enseigna aux enfants d’Israël.
23 L’Éternel donna ses ordres à Josué, fils de Nun. Il dit: Fortifie-toi et prends courage, car c’est toi qui feras entrer les enfants d’Israël dans le pays que j’ai juré de leur donner; et je serai moi-même avec toi.
