26 I thought, “I will wipe them out; I will make people forget they ever existed.”
27 If I had not feared a provocation of the enemy, lest their foes might misunderstand, lest they should say, “Our hand is triumphant, and Yahweh did not do all this.” ’
28 For they are a nation void of sense, and there is not any understanding in them.
29 If only they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern for themselves their end.
30 How could one chase a thousand and two could cause a myriad to flee, if their Rock had not sold them, and Yahweh had not given them up?
31 For the fact of the matter is, their rock is not like our Rock, and our enemies recognize this.
32 For their vine is from the vine of Sodom, and from the terraces of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
