Deuteronomy 32:26-28

26I would have said, “1I will wipe them out, 2I will remove the mention of 3their name from humanity,”27Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy, That their adversaries would misjudge, That they would say, “4Our hand is 5triumphant, And the Lord has not performed all this.”’

28“6For they are a nation 7destitute of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.
