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

²⁶ I thought, "I will wipe them out; {I will make people forget they ever existed}." ²⁷ If I had not feared a provocation of [the] enemy, lest their foes might misunderstand, lest they should say, "Our hand is {triumphant}, and Yahweh [did] not do all this." ' ²⁸ For {they are a nation void of sense}, and there is not [any] understanding in them. ²⁹ If only they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern {for themselves their end}. ³⁰ How could one chase a thousand and two could cause a myriad to flee, if their Rock had not sold them, and Yahweh had [not] given them up? ³¹ For the fact of the matter is, their rock [is] not like our Rock, and our enemies recognize [this]. ³² For their vine [is] from the vine of Sodom, and from the terraces of Gomorrah; their grapes [are] grapes of poison; {their clusters are bitter}. ³³ Their wine [is] the poison of snakes, and [the] deadly poison of horned vipers. ³⁴ '[Is] not this stored up with me, sealed in my treasuries?' ³⁵ {Vengeance belongs to me} and [also] recompense, {for at the time their foot slips}, because the day of their disaster [is] near, {and fate comes quickly for them}.' ³⁶ For Yahweh will judge [on behalf of] his people, and concerning his servants; he will change his mind when he sees that [their] power has disappeared, and [there is] no one left, confined or free. ³⁷ And he will say, 'Where [are] their gods, [their] rock in whom they took refuge? ³⁸ Who ate the fat of their sacrifices [and] drank the wine of their libations? Let them rise [up], and let them help you; {Let them be to you a refuge}.
