26. “I said, ‘I want to cut them in pieces.I want to make people forget they ever existed.
27. But I fear the reaction of their enemies,for their adversaries would misunderstandand say, “Our power is great,and the Lord has not done all this!”’
28. They are a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding among them.
29. I wish that they were wise and could understand this,and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”
30. How can one man chase a thousand of them,and two pursue ten thousand;unless their Rock had delivered them up,and the Lord had handed them over?
31. For our enemies’ rock is not like our Rock,as even our enemies concede.
32. For their vine is from the stock of Sodom,and from the fields of Gomorrah.Their grapes contain venom, their clusters of grapes are bitter.
33. Their wine is snakes’ poison,the deadly venom of cobras.
