If after thou hast gotten children and children's children and hast dwelt long in the land, ye shall mar your selves and make graven images after the likeness of what so ever it be, and shall work wickedness in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him. I call heaven and earth to record unto you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from of the land whether ye goo over Jordan to possess it: Ye shall not prolong your days therein, but shall shortly be destroyed.

For the Lord thy God is a pitiful God: he will not forsake the nether destroy thee, nor forget the appointment made with thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Neuer the later ye shall seke the Lorde youre God euen there, and shalt fynde him yf thou seke him with all thine herte and with all thy soule. In thi tribulacion and when all these thinges are come apon the, euen in the later dayes, thou shalt turne vnto the Lorde thy God, and shalt herken vn
