Deuteronomy 32:19-33

19When the LORDH3068 saw thisH7200, He rejectedH5006 them, provoked to angerH3708 by His sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.20He saidH559: “I will hideH5641 My face from themH6440; I will seeH7200 whatH4100 will be their endH319. ForH3588 they are a perverseH8419H1992 generationH1755— childrenH1121 of unfaithfulnessH3808H529.21TheyH1992 have provoked My jealousyH7065 by that which is notH3808 GodH410; they have enraged MeH3707 with their worthless idolsH1892. So IH589 will make them jealousH7065 by those who are notH3808 a peopleH5971;1 I will make them angryH3707 by a nationH1471 without understandingH5036.222ForH3588 a fireH784 has been kindledH6919 by My angerH639, and it burnsH3344 toH5704 the depthsH8482 of SheolH7585; it consumesH398 the earthH776 and its produceH2981, and scorchesH3857 the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022.

23I will heapH5595 disastersH7451 upon themH5921;I will spendH3615 My arrowsH2671 against them.24They will be wastedH4198 from hungerH7458and ravagedH3898 by pestilenceH7565 and bitterH4815 plagueH6986;I will sendH7971 the fangsH8127 of wild beastsH929 against them,withH5973 the venomH2534 of vipers that slitherH2119 in the dustH6083.25OutsideH2351, the swordH2719 will take their childrenH7921,and insideH2315, terror will strikeH367the young manH970H1571 andH1571 the young womanH1330,the infantH3243 andH5973 the gray-hairedH7872 manH376.26I would have said thatH559 I would cut them to piecesH6284and blot outH7673 their memoryH2143 from mankindH582,27if I had notH3884 dreadedH1481H6435 the tauntH3708 of the enemyH341,lestH6435 their adversariesH6862 misunderstandH5234 and sayH559:‘Our own handH3027 has prevailedH7311;it was notH3808 the LORDH3068 who didH6466 allH3605 thisH2063.’”
28IsraelH1992 is a nationH1471 devoidH6 of counselH6098,with noH369 understandingH8394 among them.29If onlyH3863 they were wiseH2449, they would understandH7919 itH2063;they would comprehendH995 their fateH319.30HowH349 could one manH259 pursueH7291 a thousandH505,or twoH8147 put ten thousandH7233 to flightH5127,unlessH518H3808H3588 their RockH6697 had sold themH4376,unless the LORDH3068 had given them upH5462?31ForH3588 their rockH6697 is notH3808 like our RockH6697,even our enemiesH341 concedeH6414.332ButH3588 their vineH1612 is from the vineH1612 of SodomH5467and from the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017.Their grapesH6025 are poisonousH7219;their clustersH811 are bitterH4846.33Their wineH3196 is the venomH2534 of serpentsH8577,the deadlyH393 poisonH7219 of cobrasH6620.
