Deuteronomy 32:19-43
19And Jehovah sawH7200 it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sonsH1121 and of his daughtersH1323.
20And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 what their endH319 shall be; For they are a perverseH8419 generationH1755, ChildrenH1121 in whom is no faithfulness.
21They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no 1GodH410; They have exasperated me with their vanitiesH1892; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a peopleH5971; With a foolishH5036 nationH1471 will I provokeH3707 them to angerH3707.
22For a fireH784 is kindled in mine angerH639, And it shall burnH3344 into the lowest SheolH7585, And shall consumeH398 the earthH776 and its produceH2981, And setH3857 fireH784 to the foundationsH4146 of the mountainsH2022.
23I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrowsH2671 will I spend against them.
24They shall be consumed with hungerH7458, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teethH8127 of beasts will I sendH7971 against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dustH6083.
25From without shall the swordH2719 bereaveH7921 them, and in the chambersH2315, terrorH367 — Both the youngH970 manH376 and the virginH1330, The suckling with the manH376 of grayH7872 hairsH7872.
26I would sayH559, I will scatter, I will make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among men,
27If I did not fear provocation from the enemyH341, LestH6435 their adversaries should misunderstand it, LestH6435 they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is highH7311, and Jehovah has not done all this.
28For they are a nationH1471 void of counselH6098, And understandingH8394 is not in them.
29Oh that they had been wiseH2449! they would have understoodH995 this, They would have considered their latterH319 endH319!
30HowH349 could oneH259 chase a thousandH505, And twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flight, Were it not that their RockH6697 had soldH4376 them, And Jehovah had deliveredH5462 them up?
31For their rockH6697 is not as our RockH6697: Let our enemiesH341 themselves be judges.
32For their vineH1612 is of the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, And of the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017: Their grapes are grapes of poisonH7219, BitterH4846 are their clustersH811;
33Their wineH3196 is the poisonH7219 of dragons, And the cruelH393 venomH2534 of vipers.
34Is not this hidden with me, SealedH2856 up among my treasuresH214?
35VengeanceH5359 is mine, and recompense, For the timeH6256 when their footH7272 shall slipH4131. For the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36For Jehovah will judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, And shall repentH5162 in favour of his servantsH5650; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shutH6113 up or leftH5800.
37And he shall sayH559, WhereH335 are their 2godsH430, Their rockH6697 in whom they trusted,
38Who ateH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, [And] drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drink-offering? Let them riseH6965 up and helpH5826 you, That there may beH1961 a protection over you.
39SeeH7200 nowH6258 that I, I am HE, And there is no 3godH430 with me; I killH4191, and I make aliveH2421; I wound, and I healH7495, And there is none that delivereth out of my handH3027,
40For I liftH5375 up my handH3027 to the heavensH8064, and sayH559, I live for everH5769!
41If I have sharpenedH8150 my gleaming swordH2719, And my handH3027 take holdH270 of judgmentH4941, I will render vengeanceH5359 to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hateH8130 me.
42Mine arrowsH2671 will I makeH7937 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, And my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; [I will makeH7937 them drunkH7937] with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captivesH7633, With the headH7218 of the princes of the enemyH341.
43ShoutH7442 for joyH7442, ye nationsH1471, with his peopleH5971, For he avengeth the bloodH1818 of his servantsH5650, And rendereth vengeanceH5359 to his enemies, And maketh atonementH3722 for his landH127, for his peopleH5971.
