Deuteronomy 32:38

The original audience would understand this as a reference to their gods, which they trusted in instead of relying on the true God. This verse highlights the contrast between the unyielding rock, symbolizing the steadfastness of Yahweh, and the temporary and unreliable idols that the people sought refuge in during times of crisis.
