²⁶ I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses^(A) against you^(B) this day that you will quickly perish^(C) from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.

¹⁷ Then the Lord’s anger^(A) will burn against you, and he will shut up^(B) the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,^(C) and you will soon perish^(D) from the good land the Lord is giving you.
