05:032:017 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God;
to gods whom they
knew
not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers
feared
not.
05:032:018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
and hast
forgotten
God that formed thee.
05:032:019 And when the lord saw it, he abhorred
them, because of the
provoking
of his sons, and of his daughters.
05:032:020 And he said, I will hide my face from them,
I will see what
their
end shall be: for they are a very froward generation,
children
in whom is no faith.
05:032:021 They have moved me to jealousy with that
which is not God;
they
have provoked me to anger with their vanities:
and I will
move
them to jealousy with those which are not a people;
I
will
provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
05:032:022 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and
shall burn unto the
lowest
hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase,
and
set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
05:032:023 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will
spend mine arrows upon
them.
05:032:024 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured
with burning
heat,
and with bitter destruction: I will also send
the teeth
of
beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the
dust.
05:032:025 The sword without, and terror within, shall
destroy both the
young
man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man
of
gray
hairs.
05:032:026 I said, I would scatter them into corners,
I would make the
remembrance
of them to cease from among men:
05:032:027 Were it not that I feared the wrath of
the enemy, lest their
adversaries
should behave themselves strangely, and lest they
should
say, Our hand is high, and the lord hath not done
all
this.
05:032:028 For they are a nation void of counsel,
neither is there any
understanding
in them.
05:032:029 O that they were wise, that they understood
this, that they
would
consider their latter end!
05:032:030 How should one chase a thousand, and two
put ten thousand to
flight,
except their Rock had sold them, and the lord
had shut
them
up?
05:032:031 For their rock is not as our Rock, even
our enemies themselves
being
judges.
05:032:032 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
and of the fields of
Gomorrah:
their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are
bitter:
05:032:033 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and
the cruel venom of
asps.
05:032:034 Is not this laid up in store with me, and
sealed up among my
treasures?
