Deuteronomy 32:26-36

26 "'I considered putting an end to them, erasing their memory from the human race;
27 but I feared the insolence of their enemy, feared that their foes would mistakenly think, "We ourselves accomplished this; ADONAI had nothing to do with it."
28 "'They are a nation without common sense, utterly lacking in discernment.
29 If they were wise they could figure it out and understand their destiny.
30 After all, how can one chase a thousand and two put ten thousand to rout, unless their Rock sells them to their enemies, unless ADONAI hands them over?
31 For our enemies have no rock like our Rock -even they can see that!
32 "'Rather, their vine is from the vine of S'dom, from the fields of 'Amora -their grapes are poisonous, their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is snake poison, the cruel venom of vipers.
34 "'Isn't this hidden with me, sealed in my storehouses?
35 Vengeance and payback are mine for the time when their foot slips; for the day of their calamity is coming soon, their doom is rushing upon them.'
36 "Yes, ADONAI will judge his people, taking pity on his servants, when he sees that their strength is gone, that no one is left, slave or free.
