Deuteronomy 32:26-30

26“I would have said: I will cut them to pieces and blot out the memory of them from mankind,

27if I had not feared provocation from the enemy, or feared that these foes might misunderstand and say, ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it wasn’t the Lord who did all this.’”

28Israel is a nation lacking sense with no understanding at all.

29If only they were wise, they would comprehend this; they would understand their fate.

30How could one pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the Lord had given them up?
