Deuteronomy 32:19-42

JuliaSmith(i) 19 And God will see and will reject, From the irritating of his sons and his daughters 20 And he will say, I will hide my face from them; I will see what shall be after them: For they a generation of perverseness, Sons no faith in them. 21 They made me jealous with not God; They irritated me with their vanities: And I will make them jealous with not a people; With a foolish nation will I irritate them. 22 For a fire was kindled in mine anger. And it shall burn to the lowest hades, And it shall consume the land and its produce, And it shall burn the foundations of the mountains. 23 I will gather evils upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. 24 Exhausted with hunger, consumed with burning, And bitter destruction: And I will send upon them the tooth of beasts, With the wrath of those crawlers of the dust 25 The sword shall bereave without, And terror from the chambers, Also the youth, also the virgin, The suckling, with the man of gray hair. 26 I have said I will blow them away, I will turn away their remembrance from man; 27 Unless I shall fear the enemy's their adversaries shall dissemble, Lest they shall say, Our high hand And not Jehovah did all this 28 For they a nation destroying counsels, And no understanding in them. 29 Would they were wise! will they look at this? Will they discern to their latter part? 30 How shall one chase a thousand; And two shall cause ten thousand to flee, If that their Rock had not sold them, And Jehovah delivered them up? 31 For their rock not as our Rock, And our enemies judging. 32 For their vine from the vine of Sodom, And from the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes the grapes of poverty, The clusters of bitterness to them. 33 Their wine the wrath of dragons, And the fierce head of asps. 34 Is not this laid up with me, Sealed up in my treasuries? 35 To me vengeance and requital; At the time their foot shall waver: For the day of their destruction is near, And he hastened things prepared for them 36 For Jehovah will judge his people, And upon his servants will he have compassion; When he shall see that the hand has failed, And nothing detained and left 37 And he said, Where their gods, The rock they trusted in it? 38 Whose fat of their sacrifices they shall eat; They shall drink the wine of their libations They shall rise up, and they shall succor you, It shall be for you protection. 39 See ye now, that I, I am he, And no God with me: I will kill, and I will preserve alive; I struck through and through, and I will heal; And none takes away out of my hand. 40 For I will lift up my hand to the heavens, And I said, I live forever. 41 If I sharpened the lightning of my sword, And my hand shall lay hold upon judgment, I will turn back vengeance to mine adversaries, And to those hating me I will requite, 42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, And my sword shall eat flesh, From the blood of the wounded and the captivity, From the head of the enemy's leaders.
