Tuesday, August 20 : Book of Deuteronomy 32,26-27ab.27cd-28.30.35cd-36ab.
“I would have said, ‘I will make an end of them and blot out their name from men’s memories,’
had I not feared the insolence of their enemies,
feared that these foes would mistakenly boast.” “Our own hand won the victory;
the LORD had nothing to do with it.”
For they are a people devoid of reason, having no understanding. “How could one man rout a thousand, or two men put ten thousand to flight, unless it was because their Rock sold them and the LORD delivered them up?”
Close at hand is the day of their disaster,
and their doom is rushing upon them!
Surely, the LORD shall do justice for his people;
on his servants he shall have pity.
