Deuteronomy 32 — Context

For they are a nation without wisdom; there is no sense in them.

If only they were wise, if only this was clear to them, and they would give thought to their future!

How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?

For their rock is not like our Rock, even our haters themselves being judges.

For their vine is the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are the grapes of evil, and the berries are bitter:

Their wine is the poison of dragons, the cruel poison of snakes.

Is not this among my secrets, kept safe in my store-house?
