Deuteronomy 32:25-27

25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.12

26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

27Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.3
