Deuteronomy 32:26-30

26I wanted to remove my people completely, so that nobody would ever remember them.

27But then their enemies would boast. They would not understand. They would say, “We have destroyed these people with our own strength! The Lord has not done this!” ’

28Israel is a nation without wisdom. They do not understand what will happen to them.

29If they were wise, they would understand. They would know what would happen to them in the end.

30One man can chase away 1,000 of my people! Two men can chase away 10,000 of them! How can that happen? God, their strong Rock, has left them. The Lord has given their enemies power over them.
