King James Version
Deuteronomy 32:19-27
King James Version
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.

New International Version
Deuteronomy 32:19-27
New International Version
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(A)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(B)
20 “I will hide my face(C) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(D)
children who are unfaithful.(E)
21 They made me jealous(F) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(G)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(H)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(I)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(J)
It will devour(K) the earth and its harvests(L)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(M)
23 “I will heap calamities(N) on them
and spend my arrows(O) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(P) against them,
consuming pestilence(Q) and deadly plague;(R)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(S)
the venom of vipers(T) that glide in the dust.(U)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(V) will reign.(W)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(X)
26 I said I would scatter(Y) them
and erase their name from human memory,(Z)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(AA)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(AB)
