Deuteronomy 28:31

1819–1905
Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to save thee." — Deuteronomy 28:31 (ASV)

You shall have none to rescue. — Here and in Deuteronomy 28:29 the Hebrew literally is, You shall have no Saviour. The times of oppression before the several judges were raised up, who are called saviours, must often have temporarily fulfilled these anticipations.
