27Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should judge amiss, Lest they should say, Our hand is exalted, Yahweh has not done all this.
28For they are a nation void of counsel, There is no understanding in them.
29Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!
30How should one chase a thousand, Two put ten thousand to flight, Except their Rock had sold them, Yahweh had delivered them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges.
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, Of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter:
33Their wine is the poison of serpents, The cruel venom of asps.
