Verse
Deuteronomy - ch 32 v 21 - 40
- They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; They have provoked me to anger with their vanities: And I will move them to jealousy with those that are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
- For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And burneth unto the lowest Sheol, And devoureth the earth with its increase, And setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.
- I will heap evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them:
- `They shall be' wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts will I send upon them, With the poison of crawling things of the dust.
- Without shall the sword bereave, And in the chambers terror; `It shall destroy' both young man and virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.
- I said, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
- Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, And Jehovah hath not done all this.
- For they are a nation void of counsel, And there is no understanding in them.
- Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!
- How should one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?
- For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.
- For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter:
- Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.
- Is not this laid up in store with me, Sealed up among my treasures?
- Vengeance is mine, and recompense, At the time when their foot shall slide: For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that are to come upon them shall make haste.
- For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself for his servants; When he seeth that `their' power is gone, And there is none `remaining', shut up or left at large.
- And he will say, Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge;
- Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, `And' drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, Let them be your protection.
- See now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; And there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
- For I lift up my hand to heaven, And say, As I live for ever,
