Deuteronomy 32:27 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

25 De fuera desolará la espada, y dentro de las cámaras el espanto; así al mancebo como á la doncella, al que mama como el hombre cano.

26 Dije: Echaríalos yo del mundo, haría cesar de entre los hombres la memoria de ellos,

27 Si no temiese la ira del enemigo, no sea que se envanezcan sus adversarios, no sea que digan: Nuestra mano alta ha hecho todo esto, no Jehová.

28 Porque son gente de perdidos consejos, y no hay en ellos entendimiento.

29 ¡Ojalá fueran sabios, que comprendieran esto, y entendieran su postrimería!
