Deuteronomy 32:22

Read in context

Deuteronomy 32:20–24 · Berean Standard Bible

20 He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.

21 They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.

22 For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains.

23 I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.

24 They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
