Deuteronomy 32:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ Without, the sword shall lay them waste, and terror within, both the young man and the virgin, the sucking child with the man in years.

²⁶ I said: Where are they? I will make the memory of them to cease from among men.

²⁷ But for the wrath of the enemies I have deferred it: lest perhaps their enemies might be proud, and should say: Our mighty hand, and not the Lord, hath done all these things.
