“After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form — doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger —”
Deuteronomy 4:25 (BSB)
Context Reading
23Be careful that you do not forget the covenant of the LORD your God that He made with you; do not make an idol for yourselves in the form of anything He has forbidden you. 24For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. 25After you have children and grandchildren and you have been in the land a long time, if you then act corruptly and make an idol of any form — doing evil in the sight of the LORD your God and provoking Him to anger — 26I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live long upon it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27Then the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and only a few of you will survive among the nations to which the LORD will drive you.
