Deuteronomy 31: Israel's future idolatry foretold to Moses

Likewise in Deuteronomy 31 God is recorded as saying to Moses: 'You are about to sleep with your fathers. Then this people will rise up and prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering to live in. They will forsake me and break my covenant that I made with them.'

The outcome, matching these predictions in every respect, showed that they were certain and infallible.

Latin

IV. Sic quoque Deuteronomii capite trigesimo primo Deus ad Mosen dixisse legitur, Ecce tu dormiturus es cum Patribus tuis: postea surget populus iste, & fornicabitur post Deos alienigenas terrae, ad quam pergit ut habitet in medio ejus; & derelinquet me, irritumque faciet pactum meum, quod pepigi cum eo. Quas praedictiones certas & infallibiles fuisse, eventus docuit illis per omnia respondens.
