DEUTERONOMY 32:27 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.”
But I feared the taunt of the enemy, that their adversaries might misunderstand and say, 'Our hand is triumphant; it was not the LORD who did all this' — God's restraint: concern for his name ('pen-yonu oyev'). Enemy might misattribute victory ('va-yomru yadeinu gavahlah'). God's honor is the check on complete destruction.
