Deuteronomy 32 It is a song that Moses sings to the people of Israel to remind them of the faithfulness of God and the punishments that can come upon them if they abandon the covenant with him. This chapter emphasizes the importance of obedience and justice, as well as divine care for its people and divine wrath against those who reject them.
Jeremiah 21:12: "O house of David, thus says the Lord, Practice justice in the morning, and deliver the oppressed from the oppressor's hand, that it will not come out of your wrath, which burns and no one erased it, because of the evil of your works. " The practice of justice is a central theme in Deuteronomy 32, and this verse emphasizes the importance of acting justice to prevent God's wrath.
Psalm 81:11-13: "But my people did not want to hear my voice, and Israel did not want to obey me. Then I gave them to the desires of their hearts, that they may be in their own advice. Ah, if my people I had heard me! If Israel had walked in my ways! " These verses reflect the concern of Deuteronomy 32 with obedience to God and the consequences of disobedience.
Isaiah 49:15-16: "Can a woman forget about her son who is still breastfeeding, so that he does not sympathize with the son of his womb? But even if he forgot, I will not forget you.

Romans 12:19: "Beloved, never seek to take revenge, but leave with God the wrath, for it is written," My is revenge; I will return, "says the Lord."
