Deuteronomy 32:23
I will spend mine arrows upon them—War, famine, pestilence (Psalms 77:17) are called in Scripture the arrows of the Almighty.
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.
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.
And shall burn to the1 lowest hell;
It shall consume the earth with her increase,
And set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
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.
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.
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,”
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,”
27 Had I not feared the wrath of the enemy,
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, a“Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, a“Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock ahad sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock ahad sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them?
