Deuteronomy

²⁷Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misdeem, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And the Lord hath not done all this. ²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them. ²⁹Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end! ³⁰How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, And the Lord had delivered them up? ³¹For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges. ³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter: ³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of asps.
