Deuteronomy 32:19-27
19
y "The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of z his sons and his daughters.
20
And he said, a 'I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21
b They have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger c with their idols.
So d I will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with e a foolish nation.
22
For f a fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to g the depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23
"'And I will heap disasters upon them;
h I will spend my arrows on them;
24
they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send i the teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of j things that crawl in the dust.
25
k Outdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26
l I would have said, "I will cut them to pieces;
m I will wipe them from human memory,"
27
had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, n "Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this."'
