Deuteronomy 32:32

Deuteronomy 32:32

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.

33 Their wine is ^athe poison of serpents,
And the cruel ^bvenom of cobras.

34 ‘Is this not ^alaid up in store with Me,
Sealed up among My treasures?

35 ^aVengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
^bFor the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.’

Deuteronomy 32:33 >>

vine of Sodom . . . grapes of gall—This fruit, which the Arabs call "Lot's Sea Orange," is of a bright yellow color and grows in clusters of three or four. When mellow, it is tempting in appearance, but on being struck, explodes like a puffball, consisting of skin and fiber only.
