Deuteronomy 32:36

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.”

For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.

37 He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,

38 which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
