Holy Scripture

Deuteronomy 32:20

A church father on this verse
“There is peace and joy in the hearts of those upon whom the face of the Lord looks. But for those from whom he turns away there is an accumulation of evils. He does not desire to look upon evil, because he is good. But if he deliberately looks toward evil, then wickedness takes root, because of humankind's infidelity.”
Clement of Alexandria, 3th c. — The Instructor Book 1

20And said, I will turn away my face from them, And will show what shall happen to them in the last days; For it is a perverse generation, Sons in whom is no faith.

19And the Lord saw, and was jealous; And was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,

— Deuteronomy 32:20 —

21They have provoked me to jealousy with that which is not God, They have exasperated me with their idols; And I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.

22For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, It shall burn to hell below; It shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; It shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
