Deuteronomy 32:24-26

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁴ they shall be wasted with hunger,
    and devoured with burning heat
    and poisonous pestilence;
and I will send the teeth of beasts against them,
    with venom of crawling things of the dust.
²⁵ In the open the sword shall bereave,
    and in the chambers shall be terror,
destroying both young man and virgin,
    the sucking child with the man of gray hairs.
²⁶ I would have said, “I will scatter them afar,
    I will make the remembrance of them cease from among men,”
