God’s Mercy and the Enemy’s Folly

26

I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;

27

If not--the anger of an enemy I fear, Lest their adversaries know--Lest they say, Our hand is high, And Jehovah hath not wrought all this.

28

For a nation lost to counsels are they, And there is no understanding in them.

29

If they were wise--They deal wisely with this; They attend to their latter end:

30

How doth one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee! If not--that their rock hath sold them, And Jehovah hath shut them up?

31

For not as our Rock is their rock, (And our enemies are judges!)

32

For of the vine of Sodom their vine is , And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes are grapes of gall--They have bitter clusters;

33

The poison of dragons is their wine And the fierce venom of asps.
