Context of Deuteronomy 32:33
31The gods of our enemies are not strong like our Rock. Even our enemies know that their own gods are weak. 32Our enemies are like grapes full of poison. They are like grapes that have grown in the fields of Sodom and Gomorrah. The wine from their grapes kills people, like dangerous poison from snakes. 34The Lord says, ‘I will not forget to punish Israel's enemies. I have already decided what I will do, and I will do it! 35When the right time comes, I will punish them as they deserve. They will suddenly fall and great trouble will quickly destroy them.’
