Deuteronomy 32:26-38 - The Weakness Of Other Gods
26 I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man; 27 If not -- the anger of an enemy I fear, Lest their adversaries know -- Lest they say, Our hand is high, And Jehovah hath not wrought all this. 28 For a nation lost to counsels are they, And there is no understanding in them. 29 If they were wise -- They deal wisely with this; They attend to their latter end: 30 How doth one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee! If not -- that their rock hath sold them, And Jehovah hath shut them up? 31 For not as our Rock is their rock, (And our enemies are judges!) 32 For of the vine of Sodom their vine is, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of gall -- They have bitter clusters; 33 The poison of dragons is their wine And the fierce venom of asps. 34 Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures? 35 Mine are vengeance and recompense, At the due time -- doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them. 36 For Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth -- the going away of power, And none is restrained and left. 37 And He hath said, Where are their gods -- The rock in which they trusted; 38 Which the fat of their sacrifices do eat, They drink the wine of their libation! Let them arise and help you, Let it be for you a hiding-place!
