← Deuteronomy 32:26	Deuteronomy 32:27 (KJV)	Deuteronomy 32:28 →
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:	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.	For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is there any] understanding in them.
