Deuteronomy 32:26-28

26 aI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
bI will wipe them from human memory,”
27had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, c“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is dno understanding in them.
