Deuteronomy 32:36-38

Contemporary English Version

^36 (A) When only a few
    of the Lord's people remain,
when their strength is gone,
    and some of them are slaves,
the Lord will feel sorry for them
    and give them justice.

³⁷ But first the Lord will say,
“You ran for safety to other gods—
    couldn't they help you?
³⁸ You offered them wine
    and your best sacrifices.
Can't those gods help you now
    or give you protection?
