Context

32:29 I wish that they were wise and could understand this,

and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

32:30 How can one man chase a thousand of them,¹

and two pursue ten thousand;

unless their Rock had delivered them up,²

and the Lord had handed them over?

[32:30] ¹tn The words “man” and “of them” are not in the Hebrew text, but are supplied in the translation for clarity.
