New American Standard Bible
Deuteronomy 32:28-33
New American Standard Bible
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.

28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(A) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(B)
and discern what their end will be!(C)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(D)
unless their Rock had sold them,(E)
unless the Lord had given them up?(F)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(G)
as even our enemies concede.(H)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(I)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(J)
and their clusters with bitterness.(K)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(L)
Deuteronomy 32:28-33
King James Version
Deuteronomy 32:28-33
King James Version
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields 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.
