Deuteronomy 4:26-30

I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today, that you will certainly perish quickly from the land where you are going over the Jordan to take possession of it. You will not live long on it, but will be utterly destroyed.

The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord drives you.

There you will serve gods, the work of human hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear, nor eat nor smell anything.

But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul.

When you are in distress and all these things happen to you, in the latter days you will return to the Lord your God and listen to His voice.
