Deuteronomy 4:21-27 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you.

22. Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land.

23. Beware lest thou ever forget the covenant of the Lord thy God, which he hath made with thee: and make to thyself a graven likeness of those things which the Lord hath forbid to be made:

24. Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

25. If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath:

26. I call this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,

27. And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.
