Deuteronomy 32:37-39

Contemporary English Version

³⁷But first the Lord will say,
“You ran for safety to other gods—
    couldn't they help you?
³⁸You offered them wine
    and your best sacrifices.
Can't those gods help you now
    or give you protection?
³⁹Don't you understand?
I am the only God;
    there are no others.
I am the one who takes life
    and gives it again.
I punished you with suffering.
But now I will heal you,
    and nothing can stop me!
