28 (A)For they are a nation [a]destitute of counsel,
And there is no understanding in them.
29 (B)If only they were wise and they understood this;
(C)If only they would discern their [b]future!
30 (D)How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their (E)Rock had sold them,
And the Lord had given them up?
31 Indeed, their rock is not like our Rock;
(F)Even our enemies [c]themselves judge this.
32 For their vine is from the vine of Sodom,
And from the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes are grapes of (G)poison,
Their clusters, bitter.
33 Their wine is the venom of [d]serpents,
And the [e]deadly poison of vipers.
