26. I said, I will dash them in pieces, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men;
27. Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misinterpret, and lest they should say, Our hand is triumphant, and Hashem hath not done all this.
28. For they are a goy (nation) void of sense, neither is there any seichel in them.
29. O that they were wise, that they had seichel, that they would consider their acharit (latter end, future)!
30. How should echad chase an elef (thousand), and shnayim (two) put ten thousand to flight, except their tzur had sold them, and Hashem had shut them up?
31. For their tzur is not like Tzureinu, even our enemies themselves being conceders.
32. For their gefen is of the gefen of Sodom, and of the fields of Amora (Gomorrah); their grapes are grapes of poison, their clusters are bitter;
33. Their yayin is the venom of serpents, and the deadly poison of asps.
34. Is not this laid up in store with Me, and sealed up among My otzrot (treasures)?
35. To Me belongeth nakam (vengeance) and recompence; their foot shall slip in due time; for the Yom of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
