Deuteronomy 32:26-38 - The Weakness Of Other Gods

²⁶ I said I would shatter them in pieces: I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men, ²⁷ if I did not fear the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should become vain and lest they should say, Our high hand has done this and not the LORD. ²⁸ For they are a Gentile void of counsel, neither is there any intelligence in them. ²⁹ O that they were wise, if they were prudent, they would understand their latter end! ³⁰ How could one chase a thousand and two put ten thousands to flight if their strong One had not sold them, and the LORD had not delivered them up? ³¹ For their strong one is not as our strong One, and even our enemies are judges of this. ³² Therefore, their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are very bitter. ³³ Their wine is the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps. ³⁴ Do I not have this laid up in store, sealed up in my treasuries? ³⁵ Vengeance and recompense are mine, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their calamity is at hand and that which is determined upon them makes haste. ³⁶ For the LORD shall judge his people and repent himself for his slaves when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up or left. ³⁷ And he shall say, Where are their gods, their strong one in whom they trusted, ³⁸ who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
