14butter of the drove, and milk of sheep, with the fatness of lambs, and of rams, of the sons of Bashan; and that he should eat kids with the marrow, or tried flour, of wheat, and he should drink the clearest blood, or wine, of the grape.

18Thou hast forsaken God that begat thee, and thou hast forgotten thy Lord creator or the Lord thy maker.

24They shall be wasted with hunger, and birds shall devour them with most bitter biting; I shall send into them the teeth of beasts, with the strong vengeance of drawing upon earth, and of serpents.
25Sword withoutforth, and dread within, shall waste them; a young man and a virgin together, a sucking child with an eld or old man.
26And I said, Where be they now? I shall make the mind or memory of them to cease of all men.
27But I delayed, or tarried, for the wrath of enemies, lest peradventure their enemies should be proud, and say, Our high hand, and not the Lord’s, did all these things.
28It is a folk without counsel, and without prudence, or wariness;
29I would that they savoured, and understood, and purveyed the last things.
30How pursued one man of enemies a thousand of Jews, and two men drove away ten thousand? Whether not therefore for their God had sold them, forsaking them, and the Lord had enclosed them altogether in their enemies? hands?

34Whether these things be not hid with me, and be sealed in my treasuries or treasures?
35Vengeance is mine, and I shall yield to them in time, that the foot of them slide; the day of perdition is nigh, and the times hasten to be present.
36The Lord shall deem his people, and he shall do mercy in his servants; the people shall see that the hand of fighters is sick, or feeble, and also men enclosed failed, and the remnant people, or left, be wasted.

37And they shall say, Where be their gods, in which they had trust?
38Of whose sacrifices they ate the fatnesses, and they drank the wine of flowing sacrifices, rise they and help you, and defend they you in need.
39See, or understand, ye, that I am God alone, and none other God is except me; I shall slay, and I shall make to live; I shall smite, and I shall make whole; and none is that may deliver from mine hand.
40And I shall raise up mine hand to heaven, and I shall say, I live without end.
41If I shall whet my sword as lightning, and mine hand shall take doom, I shall yield vengeance to mine enemies, and I shall requite to them that hate me.

48And the Lord spake to Moses in the same day, and said,
49Go thou up into this hill Abarim, that is, passing, into the hill of Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, against Jericho; and see thou the land of Canaan, which I shall give to the sons of Israel to hold,
50and die thou there in this hill. Into which hill thou shalt go up, and thou shalt be joined to thy peoples, as Aaron, thy brother, was dead in the hill of Hor, and was put to his peoples.
51For ye trespassed against me, in the midst of the sons of Israel, at the waters of Against-saying, in Kadesh, of the desert of Zin; and ye hallowed not me among the sons of Israel.
