Deuteronomy 32:19-25

19“The Lord saw this and drew back, provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.

20He said, ‘I will abandon them; then see what becomes of them. For they are a twisted generation, children without integrity.

21They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God; they have provoked my anger with their useless idols. Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people; I will provoke their anger through the foolish Gentiles.

22For my anger blazes forth like fire and burns to the depths of the grave. It devours the earth and all its crops and ignites the foundations of the mountains.

23I will heap disasters upon them and shoot them down with my arrows.

24I will weaken them with famine, burning fever, and deadly disease. I will send the fangs of wild beasts and poisonous snakes that glide in the dust.

25Outside, the sword will bring death, and inside, terror will strike both young men and young women, both infants and the aged.
