Deuteronomy 32:24-26

Living Bible

²⁴ I will waste them with hunger,

Burning fever, and fatal disease.

I will devour them! I will set wild beasts upon them,

To rip them apart with their teeth;

And deadly serpents

Crawling in the dust.

²⁵ Outside, the enemies’ sword—

Inside, the plague^[a]—

Shall terrorize young men and girls alike;

The baby nursing at the breast,

And aged men.

²⁶ I had decided to scatter them to distant lands,

So that even the memory of them

Would disappear.
