Deuteronomy 32:27 in Context — Deuteronomy 32

25 Au-dehors, on périra par l’épée, Et au-dedans, par d’effrayantes calamités: Il en sera du jeune homme comme de la jeune fille, De l’enfant à la mamelle comme du vieillard.

26 Je voudrais dire: Je les emporterai d’un souffle, Je ferai disparaître leur mémoire d’entre les hommes!

27 Mais je crains les insultes de l’ennemi, Je crains que leurs adversaires ne se méprennent, Et qu’ils ne disent: Notre main a été puissante, Et ce n’est pas l’Éternel qui a fait toutes ces choses.

28 C’est une nation qui a perdu le bon sens, Et il n’y a point en eux d’intelligence.

29 S’ils étaient sages, voici ce qu’ils comprendraient, Et ils penseraient à ce qui leur arrivera.
