28. For they are a nation void of counsel, and there is no understanding in them.
29. O that they were wise and would see through this [present triumph] to their ultimate fate!
30. How could one have chased a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had delivered them up?
31. For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves judge this.
32. For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of [poisonous] gall, their clusters are bitter.
33. Their wine is the [furious] venom of serpents, and the pitiless poison of vipers.
34. Is not this laid up in store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?
35. Vengeance is Mine, and recompense, in the time when their foot shall slide; for the day of their disaster is at hand and their doom comes speedily.
36. For the Lord will revoke sentence for His people and relent for His servants' sake when He sees that their power is gone and none remains, whether bond or free.
37. And He will say, Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38. Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, let them be your protection!
39. See now that I, I am He, and there is no god beside Me; I kill and I make alive, I wound and I heal, and there is none who can deliver out of My hand.
