30. How could one have chased a thousand,and two have put ten thousand to flight,unless their Rock had sold them,and the Lord had given them up?
31. For their rock is not as our Rock; our enemies are by themselves.
32. For their vine comes from the vine of Sodomand from the fields of Gomorrah;their grapes are grapes of poison;their clusters are bitter;
33. their wine is the poison of serpentsand the cruel venom of asps.
34. ββIs not this laid up in store with me, sealed up in my treasuries?
35. Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip;for the day of their calamity is at hand,and their doom comes swiftly.β
36. For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants,when he sees that their power is goneand there is none remaining, bond or free.
