27 But I dreaded the soundof your enemies saying,‘We defeated Israel with no helpfrom the Lord.’ ”
28 People of Israel,that's what the Lordhas said to you.But you don't have good sense,and you never listento advice.
29 If you did, you could seewhere you are headed.
30 How could one enemy soldierchase a thousandof Israel's troops?Or how could two of theirspursue ten thousand of ours?It can only happen if the Lordstops protecting Israeland lets the enemy win.
31 Even our enemies knowthat only our Godis a Mighty Rock.
32 Our enemies are grapevinesrooted in the fieldsof Sodom and Gomorrah.The grapes they produceare full of bitter poison;
33 their wine is more deadlythan cobra venom.
