Consequences of Disobedience and Return

Deuteronomy 4:25-31

"When you have had children and grandchildren, lived a long time in the land, become corrupt and made a carved image, a representation of something, and thus done what is evil in the sight of ADONAI your God and provoked him;

I call on the sky and the earth to witness against you today that you will quickly disappear from the land that you are crossing the Yarden to possess. You will not prolong your days there but will be completely destroyed.

ADONAI will scatter you among the peoples; and among the nations to which ADONAI will lead you away, you will be left few in number.

There you will serve gods which are the product of human hands, made of wood and stone, which can't see, hear, eat or smell.

However, from there you will seek ADONAI your God; and you will find him if you search after him with all your heart and being.

In your distress, when all these things have come upon you, in the acharit-hayamim, you will return to ADONAI your God and listen to what he says;

for ADONAI your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you, destroy you, or forget the covenant with your ancestors which he swore to them.
