Deuteronomy 32:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ I had decided to scatter them to distant lands,

So that even the memory of them

Would disappear.

²⁷ But then I thought,

“My enemies will boast,

‘Israel is destroyed by our own might;

It was not the Lord

Who did it!’”

²⁸ Israel is a stupid nation;

Foolish, without understanding.
