Deuteronomy 4:26-28

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁶ I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to occupy; you will not live long on it but will be utterly destroyed.^{(A) 27} The Lord will scatter you among the peoples; only a few of you will be left among the nations where the Lord will lead you.^{(B) 28} There you will serve gods made by human hands, objects of wood and stone that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.^(C)
