Deuteronomy 32:26-34

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?

31But their “rock” is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.

32For their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.

33Their wine is serpents’ venom, the deadly poison of cobras.

34“Is it not stored up with me, sealed up in my vaults?
