Deuteronomy 32:28-30

Modern English Version

²⁸ For they are a nation devoid of counsel;
    there is no understanding in them.
²⁹ Would that they were wise,
    so that they understood this,
    so that they would comprehend their future!
³⁰ How should one chase a thousand,
    and two put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock had sold them,
    and the Lord had given them up?
