Deuteronomy 32:19-25 - A Word Of Judgment

19 Jehovah saw this and rejected them. His own sons and daughters made him angry. 20 He said: 'I will turn away from them and find out what will happen to them. They are a devious and perverse generation. They are children who have no faith. 21 They made him furious because they worshiped foreign gods. They angered him because they worshiped worthless idols. So I will use those who are not my people to make them jealous and a nation of godless fools to make them angry. 22 My anger has started a fire that will burn into the depths of the grave. It will consume the earth and its crops and set the foundations of the mountains on fire. 23 I will heap distress on them! I will use my arrows on them. 24 They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague and bitter destruction. I will send teeth of wild animals on them, with the venom of crawling things (reptiles) of the dust. 25 Outside the sword will bereave. Inside terror shall destroy both young man and virgin, babies and old man with gray hair.
