Deuteronomy 32:26

I would have said, “^aI will cut them to pieces;

^bI will cause the memory of them to cease from men,”

Deuteronomy 32:27

Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy,

Lest their adversaries misjudge,

Lest they say, “^aOur hand is ¹triumphant,

And Yahweh has not done all this.”’
