of Gomorrah: their grapes
are
grapes of gall, their clusters
are
bitter:
33
Their wine
is
the poison
of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34
Is
not this laid up in store with me,
and
sealed up among
my treasures?
35
To me
belongeth
vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in
due
time:
for the day of their calamity
is
at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36
For
the L
ORD
shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that
their
power
is gone, and
there is
none shut up, or left.
37
And he shall say, Where
are
their gods,
their
rock in
whom they trusted,
38
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,
and
drank the wine of their drink
offerings? let them rise up and help you,
and
be your protection.
39
See now that I,
even
I,
am
he,
and
there is
no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither
is there any
that
can deliver out of my hand.
40
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41
If I whet
my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies,
and will reward them that hate me.
42
I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword
shall devour flesh;
and that
with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of
revenges upon the enemy.
43
Rejoice, O ye nations,
with
his people: for he will avenge the blood
of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land,
and
to his people.
44
And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea
the son of Nun.
45
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46
And he said
unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall
command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47
For it
is
not a vain thing for
you; because it
is
your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong
your
days in the land, whither
ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49
Get
thee up into this mountain Abarim,
unto
mount Nebo, which
is
in the land of Moab, that
is
over
against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a
possession:
50
And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as
Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51
Because ye trespassed
against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin;
because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52
Yet thou shalt see the land

And he said, The L
ORD
came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth
from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand
