And there was no foreign god with him.

Curds of the herd, and milk of the flock,

With fat of lambs

And rams, the breed of Bashan, and of goats,

With the best of the wheat;

And you drank wine of the blood of grapes.

For a fire has flared in My anger,

And it burns to the lowest part of [fn]Sheol,

And devours the earth with its yield,

And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

Both young man and virgin,

The nursing child with the man of gray hair.

And two put ten thousand to flight,

Unless their Rock had sold them,

And the LORD had given them up?

Even our enemies [fn]themselves judge this.

Let them rise up and help you,

Let them be your protection!
