Deuteronomy 32:33

31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.

32 But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.

Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.

34 “Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?

35 Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
