Context
Threat and Blessing following Covenant Disobedience
4:25 After you have produced children and grandchildren and have been in the land a long time , if you become corrupt and make an image of any kind and do other evil things before the Lord your God that enrage him,
4:26 I invoke heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that you will surely and swiftly be removed from the very land you are about to cross the Jordan to possess . You will not last long there because you will surely be annihilated .
4:27 Then the Lord will scatter you among the peoples and there will be very few of you among the nations where the Lord will drive you.
4:28 There you will worship gods made by human hands – wood and stone that can neither see , hear , eat , nor smell .
4:29 But if you seek the Lord your God from there , you will find him, if, indeed , you seek him with all your heart and soul .
4:30 In your distress when all these things happen to you in the latter days , if you return to the Lord your God and obey him
4:31 (for he is a merciful God ), he will not let you down or destroy you, for he cannot forget the covenant with your ancestors that he confirmed by oath to them.
