Deuteronomy 4:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 And when you look up to the heavens and behold the sun or the moon or the stars, the whole heavenly host, do not be led astray into bowing down to them and serving them.(A) These the Lord, your God, has apportioned to all the other nations under the heavens; 20 but you the Lord has taken and led out of that iron foundry, Egypt, that you might be his people, his heritage, as you are today.(B) 21 But the Lord was angry with me on your account(C) and swore that I should not cross the Jordan nor enter the good land which the Lord, your God, is giving you as a heritage.
