1. And Moses <4872> went <3212>(8799) and spake <1696>(8762) these words <1697> unto all Israel <3478>.
2. And he said <559>(8799) unto them, I am an hundred <3967> and twenty <6242> years <8141> old <1121> this day <3117>; I can <3201>(8799) no more go out <3318>(8800) and come in <935>(8800): also the LORD <3068> hath said <559>(8804) unto me, Thou shalt not go over <5674>(8799) this Jordan <3383>.
3. The LORD <3068> thy God <430>, he will go over <5674>(8802) before <6440> thee, and he will destroy <8045>(8686) these nations <1471> from before <6440> thee, and thou shalt possess <3423>(8804) them: and Joshua <3091>, he shall go over <5674>(8802) before <6440> thee, as the LORD <3068> hath said <1696>(8765).
4. And the LORD <3068> shall do <6213>(8804) unto them as he did <6213>(8804) to Sihon <5511> and to Og <5747>, kings <4428> of the Amorites <567>, and unto the land <776> of them, whom he destroyed <8045>(8689).
5. And the LORD <3068> shall give them up <5414>(8804) before your face <6440>, that ye may do <6213>(8804) unto them according unto all the commandments <4687> which I have commanded <6680>(8765) you.
6. Be strong <2388>(8798) and of a good courage <553>(8798), fear <3372>(8799) not, nor be afraid <6206>(8799) of them <6440>: for the LORD <3068> thy God <430>, he it is that doth go <1980>(8802) with thee; he will not fail <7503>(8686) thee, nor forsake <5800>(8799) thee.
7. And Moses <4872> called <7121>(8799) unto Joshua <3091>, and said <559>(8799) unto him in the sight <5869> of all Israel <3478>, Be strong <2388>(8798) and of a good courage <553>(8798): for thou must go <935>(8799) with this people <5971> unto the land <776> which the LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650>(8738) unto their fathers <1> to give <5414>(8800) them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit <5157>(8686) it.
8. And the LORD <3068>, he it is that doth go <1980>(8802) before <6440> thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail <7503>(8686) thee, neither forsake <5800>(8799) thee: fear <3372>(8799) not, neither be dismayed <2865>(8735).
9. And Moses <4872> wrote <3789>(8799) this law <8451>, and delivered <5414>(8799) it unto the priests <3548> the sons <1121> of Levi <3878>, which bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>, and unto all the elders <2205> of Israel <3478>.
10. And Moses <4872> commanded <6680>(8762) them, saying <559>(8800), At the end <7093> of every seven <7651> years <8141>, in the solemnity <4150> of the year <8141> of release <8059>, in the feast <2282> of tabernacles <5521>,
11. When all Israel <3478> is come <935>(8800) to appear <7200>(8736) before <6440> the LORD <3068> thy God <430> in the place <4725> which he shall choose <977>(8799), thou shalt read <7121>(8799) this law <8451> before all Israel <3478> in their hearing <241>.
12. Gather <6950> <0> the people <5971> together <6950>(8685), men <582>, and women <802>, and children <2945>, and thy stranger <1616> that is within thy gates <8179>, that they may hear <8085>(8799), and that they may learn <3925>(8799), and fear <3372>(8804) the LORD <3068> your God <430>, and observe <8104>(8804) to do <6213>(8800) all the words <1697> of this law <8451>:
13. And that their children <1121>, which have not known <3045>(8804) any thing, may hear <8085>(8799), and learn <3925>(8804) to fear <3372>(8800) the LORD <3068> your God <430>, as long as <3117> ye live <2416> in the land <127> whither ye go over <5674>(8802) Jordan <3383> to possess <3423>(8800) it.
14. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Behold, thy days <3117> approach <7126>(8804) that thou must die <4191>(8800): call <7121>(8798) Joshua <3091>, and present <3320>(8690) yourselves in the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>, that I may give him a charge <6680>(8762). And Moses <4872> and Joshua <3091> went <3212>(8799), and presented <3320>(8691) themselves in the tabernacle <168> of the congregation <4150>.
15. And the LORD <3068> appeared <7200>(8735) in the tabernacle <168> in a pillar <5982> of a cloud <6051>: and the pillar <5982> of the cloud <6051> stood <5975>(8799) over the door <6607> of the tabernacle <168>.
16. And the LORD <3068> said <559>(8799) unto Moses <4872>, Behold, thou shalt sleep <7901>(8802) with thy fathers <1>; and this people <5971> will rise up <6965>(8804), and go a whoring <2181>(8804) after <310> the gods <430> of the strangers <5236> of the land <776>, whither they go <935>(8802) to be among <7130> them, and will forsake <5800>(8804) me, and break <6565>(8689) my covenant <1285> which I have made <3772>(8804) with them.
17. Then my anger <639> shall be kindled <2734>(8804) against them in that day <3117>, and I will forsake <5800>(8804) them, and I will hide <5641>(8689) my face <6440> from them, and they shall be devoured <398>(8800), and many <7227> evils <7451> and troubles <6869> shall befall <4672>(8804) them; so that they will say <559>(8804) in that day <3117>, Are not these evils <7451> come <4672>(8804) upon us, because our God <430> is not among <7130> us?
18. And I will surely <5641>(8687) hide <5641>(8686) my face <6440> in that day <3117> for all the evils <7451> which they shall have wrought <6213>(8804), in that <3588> they are turned <6437>(8804) unto other <312> gods <430>.
19. Now therefore write <3789>(8798) ye this song <7892> for you, and teach <3925>(8761) it the children <1121> of Israel <3478>: put <7760>(8798) it in their mouths <6310>, that this song <7892> may be a witness <5707> for me against the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
20. For when I shall have brought <935>(8686) them into the land <127> which I sware <7650>(8738) unto their fathers <1>, that floweth <2100>(8802) with milk <2461> and honey <1706>; and they shall have eaten <398>(8804) and filled <7646>(8804) themselves, and waxen fat <1878>(8804); then will they turn <6437>(8804) unto other <312> gods <430>, and serve <5647>(8804) them, and provoke <5006>(8765) me, and break <6565>(8689) my covenant <1285>.
21. And it shall come to pass, when many <7227> evils <7451> and troubles <6869> are befallen <4672>(8799) them, that this song <7892> shall testify <6030>(8804) against <6440> them as a witness <5707>; for it shall not be forgotten <7911>(8735) out of the mouths <6310> of their seed <2233>: for I know <3045>(8804) their imagination <3336> which they go about <6213>(8802), even now <3117>, before I have brought <935>(8686) them into the land <776> which I sware <7650>(8738).
22. Moses <4872> therefore wrote <3789>(8799) this song <7892> the same day <3117>, and taught <3925>(8762) it the children <1121> of Israel <3478>.
23. And he gave Joshua <3091> the son <1121> of Nun <5126> a charge <6680>(8762), and said <559>(8799), Be strong <2388>(8798) and of a good courage <553>(8798): for thou shalt bring <935>(8686) the children <1121> of Israel <3478> into the land <776> which I sware <7650>(8738) unto them: and I will be with thee.
24. And it came to pass, when Moses <4872> had made an end <3615>(8763) of writing <3789>(8800) the words <1697> of this law <8451> in a book <5612>, until they were finished <8552>(8800),
25. That Moses <4872> commanded <6680>(8762) the Levites <3881>, which bare <5375>(8802) the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068>, saying <559>(8800),
26. Take <3947>(8800) this book <5612> of the law <8451>, and put <7760>(8804) it in the side <6654> of the ark <727> of the covenant <1285> of the LORD <3068> your God <430>, that it may be there for a witness <5707> against thee.
27. For I know <3045>(8804) thy rebellion <4805>, and thy stiff <7186> neck <6203>: behold, while I am yet alive <2416> with you this day <3117>, ye have been rebellious <4784>(8688) against the LORD <3068>; and how much more after <310> my death <4194>?
28. Gather <6950>(8685) unto me all the elders <2205> of your tribes <7626>, and your officers <7860>(8802), that I may speak <1696>(8762) these words <1697> in their ears <241>, and call <5749> <0> heaven <8064> and earth <776> to record <5749>(8686) against them.
29. For I know <3045>(8804) that after <310> my death <4194> ye will utterly <7843>(8687) corrupt <7843>(8686) yourselves, and turn aside <5493>(8804) from the way <1870> which I have commanded <6680>(8765) you; and evil <7451> will befall <7122>(8804) you in the latter <319> days <3117>; because ye will do <6213>(8799) evil <7451> in the sight <5869> of the LORD <3068>, to provoke him to anger <3707>(8687) through the work <4639> of your hands <3027>.
30. And Moses <4872> spake <1696>(8762) in the ears <241> of all the congregation <6951> of Israel <3478> the words <1697> of this song <7892>, until they were ended <8552>(8800).
Notes that are not verse specific
God had given Israel so much, but they loved Him so little. If we look at the chronological tables, Uzziah started to reign in 811BC, that’s less than 200 years since David had started to reign. And, it’s a mere165 since the kingdom had split into two. Israel hadn't really given God a chance.

2:22 “Whose breath is in his nostrils” is a phrase found earlier – Gen 7:22 – focussing on the total destruction of life in the flood.

1. For, behold, the Lord <113>, the LORD <3068> of hosts <6635>, doth take away <5493>(8688) from Jerusalem <3389> and from Judah <3063> the stay <4937> and the staff <4938>, the whole stay <4937> of bread <3899>, and the whole <3605> stay <4937> of water <4325>,
2. The mighty man <1368>, and the man <376> of war <4421>, the judge <8199>(8802), and the prophet <5030>, and the prudent <7080>(8802), and the ancient <2205>,
3. The captain <8269> of fifty <2572>, and the honourable <5375>(8803) man <6440>, and the counsellor <3289>(8802), and the cunning <2450> artificer <2791>, and the eloquent <995>(8737) orator <3908>.
4. And I will give <5414>(8804) children <5288> to be their princes <8269>, and babes <8586> shall rule <4910>(8799) over them.
5. And the people <5971> shall be oppressed <5065>(8738), every one <376> by another <376>, and every one <376> by his neighbour <7453>: the child <5288> shall behave himself proudly <7292>(8799) against the ancient <2205>, and the base <7034>(8737) against the honourable <3513>(8737).
6. When a man <376> shall take hold <8610>(8799) of his brother <251> of the house <1004> of his father <1>, saying, Thou hast clothing <8071>, be thou our ruler <7101>, and let this ruin <4384> be under thy hand <3027>:
7. In that day <3117> shall he swear <5375>(8799), saying <559>(8800), I will not be an healer <2280>(8802); for in my house <1004> is neither bread <3899> nor clothing <8071>: make <7760>(8799) me not a ruler <7101> of the people <5971>.
8. For Jerusalem <3389> is ruined <3782>(8804), and Judah <3063> is fallen <5307>(8804): because their tongue <3956> and their doings <4611> are against the LORD <3068>, to provoke <4784>(8687) the eyes <5869> of his glory <3519>.
9. The shew <1971> of their countenance <6440> doth witness against them <6030>(8804); and they declare <5046>(8689) their sin <2403> as Sodom <5467>, they hide <3582>(8765) it not. Woe <188> unto their soul <5315>! for they have rewarded <1580>(8804) evil <7451> unto themselves.
10. Say <559>(8798) ye to the righteous <6662>, that it shall be well <2896> with him: for they shall eat <398>(8799) the fruit <6529> of their doings <4611>.
11. Woe <188> unto the wicked <7563>! it shall be ill <7451> with him: for the reward <1576> of his hands <3027> shall be given <6213>(8735) him.
12. As for my people <5971>, children <5953>(8781) are their oppressors <5065>(8802), and women <802> rule <4910>(8804) over them. O my people <5971>, they which lead <833>(8764) thee cause thee to err <8582>(8688), and destroy <1104>(8765) the way <1870> of thy paths <734>.
13. The LORD <3068> standeth up <5324>(8737) to plead <7378>(8800), and standeth <5975>(8802) to judge <1777>(8800) the people <5971>.
14. The LORD <3068> will enter <935>(8799) into judgment <4941> with the ancients <2205> of his people <5971>, and the princes <8269> thereof: for ye have eaten up <1197>(8765) the vineyard <3754>; the spoil <1500> of the poor <6041> is in your houses <1004>.
15. What mean ye that ye beat <1792> <0> my people <5971> to pieces <1792>(8762), and grind <2912>(8799) the faces <6440> of the poor <6041>? saith <5002>(8803) the Lord <136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635>.
16. Moreover the LORD <3068> saith <559>(8799), Because <3282> the daughters <1323> of Zion <6726> are haughty <1361>(8804), and walk <3212>(8799) with stretched forth <5186>(8803) necks <1627> and wanton <8265>(8764) eyes <5869>, walking <1980>(8800) and mincing <2952>(8800) as they go <3212>(8799), and making a tinkling <5913>(8762) with their feet <7272>:
17. Therefore the Lord <136> will smite with a scab <5596>(8765) the crown of the head <6936> of the daughters <1323> of Zion <6726>, and the LORD <3068> will discover <6168>(8762) their secret parts <6596>.
18. In that day <3117> the Lord <136> will take away <5493>(8686) the bravery <8597> of their tinkling ornaments <5914> about their feet, and their cauls <7636>, and their round tires like the moon <7720>,
19. The chains <5188>, and the bracelets <8285>, and the mufflers <7479>,
20. The bonnets <6287>, and the ornaments of the legs <6807>, and the headbands <7196>, and the tablets <5315> <1004>, and the earrings <3908>,
21. The rings <2885>, and nose <639> jewels <5141>,
22. The changeable suits of apparel <4254>, and the mantles <4595>, and the wimples <4304>, and the crisping pins <2754>,
23. The glasses <1549>, and the fine linen <5466>, and the hoods <6797>, and the vails <7289>.
24. And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell <1314> there shall be stink <4716>; and instead of a girdle <2290> a rent <5364>; and instead of well set <4639> hair <4748> baldness <7144>; and instead of a stomacher <6614> a girding <4228> of sackcloth <8242>; and burning <3587> instead of beauty <3308>.
25. Thy men <4962> shall fall <5307>(8799) by the sword <2719>, and thy mighty <1369> in the war <4421>.
26. And her gates <6607> shall lament <578>(8804) and mourn <56>(8804); and she being desolate <5352>(8738) shall sit <3427>(8799) upon the ground <776>.
1. And in that day <3117> seven <7651> women <802> shall take hold <2388>(8689) of one <259> man <376>, saying <559>(8800), We will eat <398>(8799) our own bread <3899>, and wear <3847>(8799) our own apparel <8071>: only let us be called <7121>(8735) by thy name <8034>, to take away <622>(8798) our reproach <2781>.
2. In that day <3117> shall the branch <6780> of the LORD <3068> be beautiful <6643> and glorious <3519>, and the fruit <6529> of the earth <776> shall be excellent <1347> and comely for <8597> them that are escaped <6413> of Israel <3478>.
3. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left <7604>(8737) in Zion <6726>, and he that remaineth <3498>(8737) in Jerusalem <3389>, shall be called <559>(8735) holy <6918>, even every one that is written <3789>(8803) among the living <2416> in Jerusalem <3389>:
4. When the Lord <136> shall have washed away <7364>(8804) the filth <6675> of the daughters <1323> of Zion <6726>, and shall have purged <1740>(8686) the blood <1818> of Jerusalem <3389> from the midst <7130> thereof by the spirit <7307> of judgment <4941>, and by the spirit <7307> of burning <1197>(8763).
5. And the LORD <3068> will create <1254>(8804) upon every dwelling place <4349> of mount <2022> Zion <6726>, and upon her assemblies <4744>, a cloud <6051> and smoke <6227> by day <3119>, and the shining <5051> of a flaming <3852> fire <784> by night <3915>: for upon all the glory <3519> shall be a defence <2646>.
6. And there shall be a tabernacle <5521> for a shadow <6738> in the daytime <3119> from the heat <2721>, and for a place of refuge <4268>, and for a covert <4563> from storm <2230> and from rain <4306>.
Notes that are not verse specific
"WE HAVE NOT STOPPED PRAYING FOR YOU"
In this chapter we learn a lot about thanksgiving and prayer.
1. Thank God for faithful and loving brothers and sisters.
2. Thank God for the growth and spread of the gospel.
3. Pray for those brethren you know.
4. Ask God to fill them with the knowledge of God's will.
5. Ask God to fill them with spiritual knowledge and understanding.
6. Pray that the brethren may live a life worthy of the Lord.
7. Pray that brethren may please God in every way.
8. Pray that they may bear fruit in good works.
9. Pray that they may grow in the knowledge of God.
10. Pray that they will be strengthened by God's power to have great endurance and patience.
11. Pray that they might give thanks for the hope of the kingdom.
12. Do not stop praying for these brothers.
It is very important to pray for people - especially your brothers and sisters in Christ. They - we all - need strength from the power of the prayers of others. Let is fill out our prayers for our brothers and sisters and pray for them in the way that Paul and Timothy prayed for the Ephesians. And most important of all: Never stop praying for your brothers and sisters - they need your prayers.

3. We give thanks <2168>(5719) to God <2316> and <2532> the Father <3962> of our <2257> Lord <2962> Jesus <2424> Christ <5547>, praying <4336>(5740) always <3842> for <4012> you <5216>,
4. Since we heard <191>(5660) of your <5216> faith <4102> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>, and <2532> of the love <26> which <3588> ye have to <1519> all <3956> the saints <40>,
5. For <1223> the hope <1680> which <3588> is laid up <606>(5740) for you <5213> in <1722> heaven <3772>, whereof <3739> ye heard before <4257>(5656) in <1722> the word <3056> of the truth <225> of the gospel <2098>;
6. Which <3588> is come <3918>(5752) unto <1519> you <5209>, as <2531> <2532> it is in <1722> all <3956> the world <2889>; and <2532> bringeth forth fruit <2076>(5748) <2592>(5734), as <2531> it doth also <2532> in <1722> you <5213>, since <575> the <3739> day <2250> ye heard <191>(5656) of it, and <2532> knew <1921>(5627) the grace <5485> of God <2316> in <1722> truth <225>:
7. As <2531> ye <3129> <0> also <2532> learned <3129>(5627) of <575> Epaphras <1889> our <2257> dear <27> fellowservant <4889>, who <3739> is <2076>(5748) for <5228> you <5216> a faithful <4103> minister <1249> of Christ <5547>;
8. Who <3588> also <2532> declared <1213>(5660) unto us <2254> your <5216> love <26> in <1722> the Spirit <4151>.
9. For <1223> this cause <5124> we <2249> also <2532>, since <575> the day <2250> we heard <191>(5656) it, do <3973> <0> not <3756> cease <3973>(5731) to pray <4336>(5740) for <5228> you <5216>, and <2532> to desire <154>(5734) that <2443> ye might be filled <4137>(5686) with the knowledge <1922> of his <846> will <2307> in <1722> all <3956> wisdom <4678> and <2532> spiritual <4152> understanding <4907>;
10. That ye <5209> might walk <4043>(5658) worthy <516> of the Lord <2962> unto <1519> all <3956> pleasing <699>, being fruitful <2592>(5723) in <1722> every <3956> good <18> work <2041>, and <2532> increasing <837>(5746) in <1519> the knowledge <1922> of God <2316>;
11. Strengthened <1412>(5746) with <1722> all <3956> might <1411>, according to <2596> his <846> glorious <1391> power <2904>, unto <1519> all <3956> patience <5281> and <2532> longsuffering <3115> with <3326> joyfulness <5479>;
12. Giving thanks <2168>(5723) unto the Father <3962>, which <3588> hath made <2427> <0> us <2248> meet <2427>(5660) to <1519> be partakers <3310> of the inheritance <2819> of the saints <40> in <1722> light <5457>:
13. Who <3739> hath delivered <4506>(5673) us <2248> from <1537> the power <1849> of darkness <4655>, and <2532> hath translated <3179>(5656) us into <1519> the kingdom <932> of his <848> dear <26> Son <5207>:
14. In <1722> whom <3739> we have <2192>(5719) redemption <629> through <1223> his <846> blood <129>, even the forgiveness <859> of sins <266>:
15. Who <3739> is <2076>(5748) the image <1504> of the invisible <517> God <2316>, the firstborn <4416> of every <3956> creature <2937>:
16. For <3754> by <1722> him <846> were <2936> <0> all things <3956> created <2936>(5681), that are in <1722> heaven <3772>, and <2532> that are in <1909> earth <1093>, visible <3707> and <2532> invisible <517>, whether <1535> they be thrones <2362>, or <1535> dominions <2963>, or <1535> principalities <746>, or <1535> powers <1849>: all things <3956> were created <2936>(5769) by <1223> him <846>, and <2532> for <1519> him <846>:
17. And <2532> he is <2076>(5748) before <4253> all things <3956>, and <2532> by <1722> him <846> all things <3956> consist <4921>(5758).
18. And <2532> he is <2076>(5748) the head <2776> of the body <4983>, the church <1577>: who <3739> is <2076>(5748) the beginning <746>, the firstborn <4416> from <1537> the dead <3498>; that <2443> in <1722> all <3956> things he might have <1096>(5638) the preeminence <4409>(5723).
19. For it pleased <2106>(5656) the Father that <3754> in <1722> him <846> should <2730> <0> all <3956> fulness <4138> dwell <2730>(5658);
20. And <2532>, having made peace <1517>(5660) through <1223> the blood <129> of his <846> cross <4716>, by <1223> him <846> to reconcile <604>(5658) all things <3956> unto <1519> himself <848>; by <1223> him <846>, I say, whether <1535> they be things in <1909> earth <1093>, or <1535> things in <1722> heaven <3772>.
21. And <2532> you <5209>, that were <5607>(5752) sometime <4218> alienated <526>(5772) and <2532> enemies <2190> in your mind <1271> by <1722> wicked <4190> works <2041>, yet <1161> now <3570> hath he reconciled <604>(5656)
22. In <1722> the body <4983> of his <848> flesh <4561> through <1223> death <2288>, to present <3936>(5658) you <5209> holy <40> and <2532> unblameable <299> and <2532> unreproveable <410> in his <848> sight <2714>:
23. If <1489> ye continue <1961>(5719) in the faith <4102> grounded <2311>(5772) and <2532> settled <1476>, and <2532> be not <3361> moved away <3334>(5746) from <575> the hope <1680> of the gospel <2098>, which <3739> ye have heard <191>(5656), and which <3588> was preached <2784>(5685) to <1722> every <3956> creature <2937> which is under <5259> heaven <3772>; whereof <3739> I <1473> Paul <3972> am made <1096>(5633) a minister <1249>;
24. Who <3739> now <3568> rejoice <5463>(5719) in <1722> my <3450> sufferings <3804> for <5228> you <5216>, and <2532> fill up <466>(5719) that which is behind <5303> of the afflictions <2347> of Christ <5547> in <1722> my <3450> flesh <4561> for <5228> <0> his <846> body's <4983> sake <5228>, which <3603> is <2076>(5748) the church <1577>:
25. Whereof <3739> I <1473> am made <1096>(5633) a minister <1249>, according to <2596> the dispensation <3622> of God <2316> which <3588> is given <1325>(5685) to me <3427> for <1519> you <5209>, to fulfil <4137>(5658) the word <3056> of God <2316>;
26. Even the mystery <3466> which <3588> hath been hid <613>(5772) from <575> ages <165> and <2532> from <575> generations <1074>, but <1161> now <3570> is made manifest <5319>(5681) to his <846> saints <40>:
27. To whom <3739> God <2316> would <2309>(5656) make known <1107>(5658) what <5101> is the riches <4149> of the glory <1391> of this <5127> mystery <3466> among <1722> the Gentiles <1484>; which <3739> is <2076>(5748) Christ <5547> in <1722> you <5213>, the hope <1680> of glory <1391>:
28. Whom <3739> we <2249> preach <2605>(5719), warning <3560>(5723) every <3956> man <444>, and <2532> teaching <1321>(5723) every <3956> man <444> in <1722> all <3956> wisdom <4678>; that <2443> we may present <3936>(5661) every <3956> man <444> perfect <5046> in <1722> Christ <5547> Jesus <2424>:
29. Whereunto <1519> <3739> I <2872> <0> also <2532> labour <2872>(5719), striving <75>(5740) according to <2596> his <846> working <1753>, which <3588> worketh <1754>(5734) in <1722> me <1698> mightily <1411>.
