Deuteronomy 32:36-39

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁶ “The Lord will judge his people.
    They are his servants, and he will show them mercy.
He will see that their power is gone.
    He will see that they are all helpless—
    the slaves and free people too.
³⁷ Then the Lord will say, ‘Where are the false gods?
    Where is the “rock” that you ran to for protection?
³⁸ Those false gods ate the fat of your sacrifices.
    And they drank the wine of your offerings.
So let them get up and help you!
    Let them protect you!

³⁹ “‘Now, see that I, and only I, am God!
    There is no other God!
I put people to death,
    and I let people live.
I can hurt people,
    and I can make them well.
    No one can save another person from my power!
