Deuteronomy 32:24-30

²⁴They will be wasted from hunger

and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;

I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them,

with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.

²⁵Outside, the sword will take their children,

and inside, terror will strike

the young man and the young woman,

the infant and the gray-haired man.

²⁶I would have said that I would cut them to pieces

and blot out their memory from mankind,

²⁷if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy,

lest their adversaries misunderstand and say:

‘Our own hand has prevailed;

it was not the LORD who did all this.’”

²⁸Israel is a nation devoid of counsel,

with no understanding among them.

²⁹If only they were wise, they would understand it;

they would comprehend their fate.

³⁰How could one man pursue a thousand,

or two put ten thousand to flight,

unless their Rock had sold them,

unless the LORD had given them up?
