Deuteronomy 32:27
Berean Standard Bible
if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
Context
25Outside, the sword will take their children,
and inside, terror will strike
the young man and the young woman,
the infant and the gray-haired man. 26I would have said that I would cut them to pieces
and blot out their memory from mankind, 27if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest their adversaries misunderstand and say:
‘Our own hand has prevailed;
it was not the LORD who did all this.’” 28Israel is a nation devoid of counsel,
with no understanding among them. 29If only they were wise, they would understand it;
they would comprehend their fate.
