Deuteronomy 32:19-25 - A Word Of Judgment

¹⁹ When the Lord saw this, He despised them,
provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
²⁰ He said: “I will hide My face from them;
I will see what will become of them,
for they are a perverse generation—
unfaithful children.
²¹ They have provoked My jealousy
with their so-called gods;
they have enraged Me with their worthless idols.
So I will provoke their jealousy
with an inferior people;
I will enrage them with a foolish nation.
²² For fire has been kindled because of My anger
and burns to the depths of Sheol;
it devours the land and its produce,
and scorches the foundations of the mountains. ²³ “I will pile disasters on them;
I will use up My arrows against them.
²⁴ They will be weak from hunger,
ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague;
I will unleash on them wild beasts with fangs,
as well as venomous snakes that slither in the dust.
²⁵ Outside, the sword will take their children,
and inside, there will be terror;
the young man and the young woman will be killed,
the infant and the gray-haired man.
