Deuteronomy 32:28-36

28They are a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding among them.

29I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

30How can one man chase a thousand of them, and two pursue ten thousand; unless their Rock had delivered them up, and the Lord had handed them over?

31For our enemies’ rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.

32For their vine is from the stock of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes contain venom, their clusters of grapes are bitter.

33Their wine is snakes’ poison, the deadly venom of cobras.

34“Is this not stored up with me?” says the Lord, “Is it not sealed up in my storehouses?

35I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!”

36The Lord will judge his people, and will change his plans concerning his servants; when he sees that their power has disappeared, and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.
