For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.

Context

21Furthermore Yahweh was angry with me for your sakes, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not go in to that good land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance;
22but I must die in this land. I must not go over the Jordan, but you shall go over and possess that good land.
23Be careful, lest you forget the covenant of Yahweh your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a carved image in the form of anything which Yahweh your God has forbidden you.
24For Yahweh your God is a devouring fire, a jealous God.
25When you shall father children and children’s children, and you shall have been long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a carved image in the form of anything, and shall do that which is evil in Yahweh your God’s sight to provoke him to anger,
26I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from off the land which you go over the Jordan to possess it. You will not prolong your days on it, but will utterly be destroyed.
27Yahweh will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where Yahweh will lead you away.
