Devarim 32:28-45 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

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.

36. For Hashem shall judge His people, and relent for His avadim, when He seeth that their power is gone, and there is none left, slave or free.

37. And He shall say, Where are their elohim, their tzur in whom they trusted,

38. Which did eat the fat of their zevakhim (sacrifices), and drank the yayin of their nesakhim (drink offerings)? Let them rise up and help you, and be your shelter.

39. See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no elohim besides Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand.

40. For I lift up My hand to Shomayim, and say, Chai Anochi L'Olam (I live forever).

41. If I sharpen My glittering cherev, and Mine hand take hold on mishpat; I will render nakam (vengeance) to Mine enemies, and will reward them that hate Me.

42. I will make Mine khitzim (arrows) drunk with dahm, and My cherev shall devour basar; and that with the dahm of the slain and of the captives, from the head of leaders of the foe.

43. Rejoice, O ye Goyim, with His people: for He will avenge the dahm of His avadim, and will render nakam (vengeance) to His adversaries, and will make kapporah for the land of His people.

44. And Moshe came and spoke kol divre hashirah in the hearing of the people, he, and Hoshea ben Nun.

45. And Moshe made an end of speaking all these devarim to kol Yisroel;
