Deuteronomy 32:24-26
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
24 Emaciating hunger and consuming fever
and bitter pestilence,
And the teeth of wild beasts I will send among them,
with the venom of reptiles gliding in the dust.(A)
25 Out in the street the sword shall bereave,
and at home the terror
For the young man and the young woman alike,
the nursing babe as well as the gray beard.(B)
26 I said: I will make an end of them
and blot out their name from human memory,
