Deuteronomy 32:36

36 For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.

Deuteronomy 32:36 In-Context

34 Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
35 Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.

Footnotes 3

  • [a]. Or 'shall have compassion upon.'
  • [b]. Lit. 'hand.'
  • [c]. Or 'at liberty.' The phrase seems to be a proverbial expression, in itself a paronomasia, to express forcibly 'the totality:' cf. 1Kings 14.10; 2Kings 14.26.
