27 ‘If I did not fear the enemy’s taunt, Lest their adversaries misunderstand, Lest they say, “Our hand is high, And יהוה has not done all this.” ’
28 “For they are a nation lost to counsel, And there is no understanding in them.
29 “If they were wise, They would understand this, They would consider their latter end!
30 “How would one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Unless their Rock had sold them, And יהוה had given them up?
31 “For their rock is not like our Rock – Even our enemies are judges.
32 “Their vine is of the vine of Seḏom And of the fields of Amorah; Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter.
33 “Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the fierce venom of cobras.
