DEUTERONOMY
[XXXII
- Their grapes are grapes of gall,
- Their clusters are bitter:
- Their wine is the poison of dragons,
- And the cruel venom of asps.
- Is not this laid up in store with me,
- And sealed up among my treasures?
- To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;
- Their foot shall slide in due time:
- For the day of their calamity is at hand,
- And the things that shall come upon them make
- haste.
- For the Lord shall judge his people,
- And repent himself for his servants,
- When he seeth that their power is gone,
- And there is none shut up, or left.
- And he shall say, Where are their gods,
- Their rock in whom they trusted.
- Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,
- And drank the wine of their drink offerings?
- Let them rise up and help you,
- And be your protection.
- See now that I, even I, am he,
- And there is no god with me:
- I kill, and I make alive;
- I wound, and I heal:
- Neither is there any that can deliver out of my
- hand.
