Deuteronomy 32:28-30

New International Reader's Version

²⁸ Israel is a nation that doesn’t have any sense.
    They can’t understand anything.
²⁹ I wish they were wise. Then they would understand what’s coming.
    They’d realize what would happen to them in the end.
³⁰ How could one person chase a thousand?
    How could two make ten thousand run away?
It couldn’t happen unless their Rock had deserted them.
    It couldn’t take place unless the Lord had given them up.
