Context of Deuteronomy 32:34
32Our enemies are like grapes full of poison. They are like grapes that have grown in the fields of Sodom and Gomorrah. 33The wine from their grapes kills people, like dangerous poison from snakes. The 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.’ 36At that time, the Lord will bring justice for his people. He will forgive his servants. He will rescue them when he sees that they are weak, and very few of them remain, as slaves or free people.
