32:36 The Lord will judge his people,
and will change his plans concerning 10 his servants;
when he sees that their power has disappeared,
and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.
33:29 You have joy, Israel! Who is like you?
You are a people delivered by the Lord,
your protective shield
and your exalted sword.
May your enemies cringe before you;
may you trample on their backs.
