Deuteronomy 32:26-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
26 I said: I will make an end of them
and blot out their name from human memory,
27 Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy,
that their foes might misunderstand,
And say, “Our own hand won the victory;
the Lord had nothing to do with any of it.”(A)
Deuteronomy 32:27-28
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy,
that their foes might misunderstand,
And say, “Our own hand won the victory;
the Lord had nothing to do with any of it.”(A)
28 For they are a nation devoid of reason,[a]
having no understanding.

30 “How could one rout a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless it was because their Rock sold them,
the Lord delivered them up?”
Deuteronomy 32:35-36
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
35 Vengeance is mine and recompense,
for the time they lose their footing;
Because the day of their disaster is at hand
and their doom is rushing upon them!(A)

on his servants he will have pity.
When he sees their strength is gone,
and neither bond nor free[a] is left,(B)
