Deuteronomy 32:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ except that I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
    lest the foe misunderstand and say,
‘Our hand has triumphed;
    the Lord has not done this!’ ”
²⁸ They are a nation without sense,
    there is no understanding in them.
²⁹ If only they were wise and would understand this,
    and consider how they will end.
