Deuteronomy 32:24-30 They shall be consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of serpents creeping on the ground.

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ²⁴ They shall be consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of serpents creeping on the ground. ²⁵ Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror shall issue out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old. ²⁶ I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from among men. ²⁷ Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things. ²⁸ It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them. ²⁹ They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come. ³⁰ How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?
