Deuteronomy 32:26-28

New International Version

²⁶ I said I would scatter^(A) them
    and erase their name from human memory,^(B)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
    lest the adversary misunderstand^(C)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
    the Lord has not done all this.’”^(D)

²⁸ They are a nation without sense,
    there is no discernment^(E) in them.
