Deuteronomy 32:25-27

Amplified Bible

²⁵ 
‘Outside the sword will bereave,
And inside [the chambers] terror—
For both young man and virgin,
For the nursing child and the man of gray hair.
²⁶ 
‘I would have said, “I will cut them to pieces [scattering them far away],
I will remove the memory of them from men,”
²⁷ 
Had I not feared the provocation of the enemy,
That their adversaries would misjudge,
That they would say, “Our [own] hand has prevailed,
And the Lord has not done all this.”’
