Deuteronomy 32:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ “Israel is a nation without sense;
    they have no wisdom at all.
²⁹ They fail to see why they were defeated;
    they cannot understand what happened.
³⁰ Why were a thousand defeated by one,
    and ten thousand by only two?
The Lord, their God, had abandoned them;
    their mighty God had given them up.
