27 Had I not feared the wrath of the enemy,Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,Lest they should say, “Our hand is high;And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,Nor is there any understanding in them.
29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this,That they would consider their latter end!
30 How could one chase a thousand,And two put ten thousand to flight,Unless their Rock had sold them,And the Lord had surrendered them?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,Even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of SodomAnd of the fields of Gomorrah;Their grapes are grapes of gall,Their clusters are bitter.
33 Their wine is the poison of serpents,And the cruel venom of cobras.
