Deuteronomy 32:29
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
In context
27 if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
28 Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
29 If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
30 How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
