Deuteronomy 32:26-28

26I would have said, “1I will cut them to pieces, 2I will remove the memory of them from men,”27Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy, That their adversaries would misjudge, That they would say, “3Our hand is 4triumphant, And the Lord has not done all this.”’

28“5For they are a nation 6lacking in counsel, And there is no understanding in them.
