Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 32:37–39
37He will say: “Where are their gods,
the rock in which they took refuge,
38which ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them give you shelter!
39See now that I am He;
there is no God besides Me.
I bring death and I give life;
I wound and I heal,
and there is no one
who can deliver from My hand.
