29. Would that they were wise,so that they understood this,so that they would comprehend their future!
30. How should one chase a thousand,and two put ten thousand to flight,unless their Rock had sold them,and the Lord had given them up?
31. For their rock is not as our Rock;even our enemies themselves concede this.
32. For their vine is from the vine of Sodomand from the fields of Gomorrah;their grapes are grapes of poison;their clusters are bitter.
33. Their wine is the poison of dragonsand the deadly venom of cobras.
34. Is not this laid up in store with Meand sealed up among My treasures?
35. Vengeance is Mine, and recompense;their foot will slip in due time;for the day of their calamity is at hand,and the things to come hasten upon them.
36. For the Lord will judge His people,and relent in regard to His servants,when He sees that their power is goneand there is no one left, whether restrained or free.
37. He will say: Where are their gods,their rock in whom they trusted,
38. which ate the fat of their sacrificesand drank the wine of their drink offerings?Let them rise up and help youand be your protection.
