Tree Of Life Version

Deuteronomy 32:32-44 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

32. For their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the terraces of Gomorrah. Its grapes are grapes of poison— bitter clusters on it.

33. Venom of serpents is their wine— poison of vipers so cruel.

34. Is it not stored up with Me, sealed up in My treasuries?

35. Vengeance is Mine, and payback, for the time when their foot staggers. Surely their day of disaster is near— what is prepared rushes on them.

36. For Adonai will judge His people— for His servants, He will relent when He sees that strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free.

37. He will say, ‘Where are their gods, the “rock” they took refuge in?

38. Who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their libation? Let them rise up and help you and be a shelter over you!

39. See now that I, I am He! There are no other gods beside Me. I bring death and give life, I have wounded but I will heal, and none can rescue from My hand.’

40. “Yes, I lift My hand up to heaven and say, ‘As I Myself live forever,

41. when I sharpen My lightning sword and My hand seizes it in judgment, I will return vengeance on My foes, and those who hate Me I will pay back.

42. I will make My arrows drunk from blood, and My sword will devour flesh— the blood of the slain and the captive, the head of the leaders of the enemy.’

43. Make His people rejoice, O nations, for He will avenge the blood of His servants. He will return vengeance on His foes, and atone for the land of His people.”

44. Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people—he and Joshua son of Nun.
