33Their wine is the venom of serpents, And the deadly poison of vipers. 34‘Is it not laid up in store with Me, Sealed up in My treasuries? Vengeance is Mine, and retribution, In due time their foot will slip; For the day of their disaster is at hand, And their doom hurries to meet them.’ 36For the Lord will vindicate His people, And will have compassion on His servants, When He sees that their strength (hand) is gone, And none remains, whether bond or free. 37And He will say, ‘Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge?
