Deuteronomy 32:34-39
Konteks32:34 “Is this not stored up with me?” says the Lord, 1
“Is it not sealed up in my storehouses?
32:35 I will get revenge and pay them back
at the time their foot slips;
for the day of their disaster is near,
and the impending judgment 2 is rushing upon them!”
32:36 The Lord will judge his people,
and will change his plans concerning 3 his servants;
when he sees that their power has disappeared,
and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.
32:37 He will say, “Where are their gods,
the rock in whom they sought security,
32:38 who ate the best of their sacrifices,
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?
Let them rise and help you;
let them be your refuge!
32:39 “See now that I, indeed I, am he!” says the Lord, 4
“and there is no other god besides me.
I kill and give life,
I smash and I heal,
and none can resist 5 my power.
