Deuteronomy 32:21

19 “And^a when the Lord saw it, He spurned them,
Because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.

20 And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them,
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
^aChildren in whom is no faith.

21 ^aThey have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;
They have moved Me to anger ^bby their foolish idols.
But ^cI will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;
I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

22 For ^aa fire is kindled in My anger,
And shall burn to the¹ lowest hell;
It shall consume the earth with her increase,
And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 ‘I will ^aheap disasters on them;
^bI will spend My arrows on them.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger,
Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;
I will also send against them the ^ateeth of beasts,
With the poison of serpents of the dust.

25 The sword shall destroy outside;
There shall be terror within
For the young man and virgin,
The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.

26 ^aI would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
