Deuteronomy:32:19-42
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:19 @ "The LORD saw it, and spurned them, because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:20 @ And he said, `I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end will be, for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:21 @ They have stirred me to jealousy with what is no god; they have provoked me with their idols. So I will stir them to jealousy with those who are no people; I will provoke them with a foolish nation.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:22 @ For a fire is kindled by my anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol, devours the earth and its increase, and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:23 @ "`And I will heap evils upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them;
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:24 @ they shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat and poisonous pestilence; and I will send the teeth of beasts against them, with venom of crawling things of the dust.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:25 @ In the open the sword shall bereave, and in the chambers shall be terror, destroying both young man and virgin, the sucking child with the man of gray hairs.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:26 @ I would have said, "I will scatter them afar, I will make the remembrance of them cease from among men,"
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:27 @ had I not feared provocation by the enemy, lest their adversaries should judge amiss, lest they should say, "Our hand is triumphant, the LORD has not wrought all this."'
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:28 @ "For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:29 @ If they were wise, they would understand this, they would discern their latter end!
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:30 @ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had given them up?
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:31 @ For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:32 @ For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomor'rah; their grapes are grapes of poison, their clusters are bitter;
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:33 @ their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of asps.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:34 @ "Is not this laid up in store with me, sealed up in my treasuries?
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:35 @ Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:36 @ For the LORD will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none remaining, bond or free.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:37 @ Then he will say, `Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:38 @ who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection!
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:39 @ "`See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god beside me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:40 @ For I lift up my hand to heaven, and swear, As I live for ever,
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:41 @ if I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries, and will requite those who hate me.
rsv@Deuteronomy:32:42 @ I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh--with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the long-haired heads of the enemy.'
