Deuteronomy 32:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ I said: Where are they? I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.

²⁷ But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud, and should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, hath done all these things.

²⁸ They are a nation without counsel, and without wisdom.
