Deuteronomy 31:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵ Moses commanded the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying, ²⁶ ‘Take this book of the law and put it beside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; let it remain there as a witness against you. ²⁷ For I know well how rebellious and stubborn you are. If you already have been so rebellious towards the Lord while I am still alive among you, how much more after my death!
