22. I will die here in this land. I won’t cross the Jordan River. But you will, and you will take possession of that wonderful land.
23. So all of you, watch yourselves! Don’t forget the covenant that the Lord your God made with you by making an idol or an image of any kind or anything the Lord your God forbids,
24. because the Lord your God is an all-consuming fire. He is a passionate God.
25. Once you have had children and grandchildren and have grown old on the land, if you ruin things by making an idol, in any form whatsoever, and do what is evil in the eyes of the Lord your God and anger him,
26. I call heaven and earth as my witnesses against you today: You will definitely disappear—and quickly—from the land that you are crossing over the Jordan River to possess. You won’t extend your time there but will instead be totally destroyed.
