Deuteronomy 32:19-43

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.
34“Have I notH3808 stored upH3647 these thingsH1931,sealed upH2856 within MyH5978 vaultsH214?35VengeanceH5359 is Mine; I will repayH8005.4In due timeH6256 their footH7272 will slipH4131;forH3588 their dayH3117 of disasterH343 is nearH7138,and their doomH6264 is coming quicklyH2363.”
36ForH3588 the LORDH3068 will vindicateH1777 His peopleH59715and have compassionH5162 onH5921 His servantsH5650whenH3588 He seesH7200 thatH3588 their strengthH3027 is goneH235and no oneH657 remains, slaveH6113 or freeH5800.37He will sayH559: “WhereH335 are their godsH430,the rockH6697 in which they took refugeH2620,38whichH834 ateH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077and drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drink offeringsH5257?Let them rise upH6965 and help youH5826;let them give youH1961H5921 shelterH5643!
39SeeH7200 nowH6258 thatH3588 IH589 am HeH1931;there is noH369 GodH430 besides MeH5978.IH589 bring deathH4191 and I give lifeH2421;I woundH4272H589 and IH589 healH7495,and there is no oneH369who can deliverH5337 from My handH3027.40ForH3588 I lift upH5375 My handH3027 toH413 heavenH8064 and declareH559:As surely as IH595 liveH2416 foreverH5769,41whenH518 I sharpenH8150 My flashingH1300 swordH2719,and My handH3027 grasps itH270 in judgmentH4941,I will takeH7725 vengeanceH5359 on My adversariesH6862and repayH7999 those who hate MeH8130.42I will make My arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818,while My swordH2719 devoursH398 fleshH1320—the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and captivesH7633,the headsH7218 of the enemyH341 leadersH6545.”
43RejoiceH7442, O heavens, with Him,and let all God’s angels worship Him.6Rejoice, O nationsH1471, with His peopleH5971;7forH3588 He will avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of His childrenH5650.8He will takeH7725 vengeanceH5359 on His adversariesH6862and repay those who hate Him;9He will cleanseH3722 His landH127and His peopleH5971.
