Deuteronomy 32:26

²⁴They shall be consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, And there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, With the rage of serpents creeping on the ground.

²⁵Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, And terror shall issue out of the secret chambers; The young man shall perish with the virgin, The suckling with him who has grown old.

— Deuteronomy 32:26 —

²⁷Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, Lest their enemies should combine against them; Lest they should say, Our own high arm, And not the Lord, has done all these things.

²⁸It is a nation that has lost counsel, Neither is there understanding in them.
