Deuteronomy 32:27-29

New Living Translation

²⁷ But I feared the taunt of Israel’s enemy,
    who might misunderstand and say,
“Our own power has triumphed!
    The Lord had nothing to do with this!”’

²⁸ “But Israel is a senseless nation;
    the people are foolish, without understanding.
²⁹ Oh, that they were wise and could understand this!
    Oh, that they might know their fate!
