Deuteronomy 32:26 in context

Deuteronomy 32:23–29

23

“I will heap evils on them.

I will spend my arrows on them.

24

They shall be wasted with hunger,

and devoured with burning heat

and bitter destruction.

I will send the teeth of animals on them,

with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.

25

Outside the sword will bereave,

and in the rooms,

terror on both young man and virgin,

the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.

26
Selected verse

I said that I would scatter them afar.

I would make their memory to cease from among men;

27

were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,

lest their adversaries should judge wrongly,

lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted;

the LORD has not done all this.’”

28

For they are a nation void of counsel.

There is no understanding in them.

29

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,

that they would consider their latter end!
