32. Our enemies are grapevinesrooted in the fieldsof Sodom and Gomorrah.The grapes they produceare full of bitter poison;
33. their wine is more deadlythan cobra venom.
34. But the Lord has writtena list of their sinsand locked it in his vault.
35. Soon our enemies will getwhat they deserve—suddenly they will slip,and total disasterwill quickly follow.
36. When only a fewof the Lord's people remain,when their strength is gone,and some of them are slaves,the Lord will feel sorry for themand give them justice.
37. But first the Lord will say,“You ran for safety to other gods—couldn't they help you?
38. You offered them wineand your best sacrifices.Can't those gods help you nowor give you protection?
39. Don't you understand?I am the only God;there are no others.I am the one who takes lifeand gives it again.I punished you with suffering.But now I will heal you,and nothing can stop me!
