# Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate

Moses states something that he wishes were true, but he knows that they are not wise and do not understand that their disobedience will cause Yahweh to bring this disaster on them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hypo]])

# their coming fate

The abstract noun "fate" can be translated as a verb. Alternate translation: "what is going to happen to them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])
