28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
    and there is (A)no understanding in them.
29 (B)If they were wise, they would understand this;
    they would (C)discern their latter end!
30 How could (D)one have chased a thousand,
    and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock (E)had sold them,
    and the Lord had given them up?
31 For (F)their rock is not as our Rock;
    (G)our enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine (H)comes from the vine of Sodom
    and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of (I)poison;
    their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of (J)serpents
    and the cruel venom of asps.

34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
    (K)sealed up in my treasuries?
35 (L)Vengeance is mine, and recompense,[a]
    (M)for the time when their foot shall slip;
for (N)the day of their calamity is at hand,
    and their doom comes swiftly.’

  1. Deuteronomy 32:35 Septuagint and I will repay

28 They are a nation without sense,
    there is no discernment(A) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(B)
    and discern what their end will be!(C)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
    or two put ten thousand to flight,(D)
unless their Rock had sold them,(E)
    unless the Lord had given them up?(F)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(G)
    as even our enemies concede.(H)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(I)
    and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(J)
    and their clusters with bitterness.(K)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
    the deadly poison of cobras.(L)

34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
    and sealed it in my vaults?(M)
35 It is mine to avenge;(N) I will repay.(O)
    In due time their foot will slip;(P)
their day of disaster is near
    and their doom rushes upon them.(Q)
