And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
And he said, 'I will turn my face away from them and see what happens to them in the end, because they are a stubborn and rebellious generation—children who have no faith in me.'
God is saying he will withdraw his protection from his people because they have become rebellious and faithless, and he will see what consequences they face.

The song serves as both a warning and a witness against the people for the times when they would turn away from God after settling in Canaan.
