Deuteronomy 32:34-36

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁴ “The Lord says, ‘I am saving that punishment.
    I have it locked up in my storehouse!
³⁵ I will punish them for the bad things they did.
    But I am saving that punishment for when they slip and do bad things.
Their time of trouble is near.
    Their punishment will come quickly.’

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.
