Deuteronomy 32:19–25

¹⁹“The Lord saw it, and spurned them,

because of the provocation of his sons and his daughters.

²⁰And he said, ‘I will hide my face from them,

I will see what their end will be,

for they are a perverse generation,

children in whom is no faithfulness.

²¹They have stirred me to jealousy with what is no god;

they have provoked me with their idols.

So I will stir them to jealousy with those who are no people;

I will provoke them with a foolish nation.

²²For a fire is kindled by my anger,

and it burns to the depths of Sheol,

devours the earth and its increase,

and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

²³“ ‘And I will heap evils upon them;

I will spend my arrows upon them;

²⁴they shall be wasted with hunger,

and devoured with burning heat

and poisonous pestilence;

and I will send the teeth of beasts against them,

with venom of crawling things of the dust.

²⁵In the open the sword shall bereave,

and in the chambers shall be terror,

destroying both young man and virgin,

the sucking child with the man of gray hairs.
