Deuteronomy 32:28

26 ^aI would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,
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.” ’

28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
Nor is there any understanding in them.

29 ^aOh, that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their ^blatter end!

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?

31 For their rock is not like our Rock,
^aEven our enemies themselves being judges.

32 For ^atheir vine is of the vine of Sodom
And of the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter.
