Deuteronomy 32:7-16

7Remember the days of old, Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

8When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples According to the number of the sons of Israel.

9For the Lord’s portion and chosen share is His people; Jacob (Israel) is the allotment of His inheritance.

10He found him in a desert land, In the howling wasteland of a wilderness; He kept circling him, He took care of him, He protected him as the apple of His eye.

11As an eagle that protects its nest, That flutters over its young, He spread out His wings and took them, He carried them on His pinions.

12So the Lord alone led him; There was no foreign god with him.

13He made him (Israel) ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And He made him suck honey from the rock, And [olive] oil from the flinty rock,

14Butter and curds of cows, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, And rams, the breed of Bashan, and goats, With the finest of the wheat; And you drank wine, the blood of grapes.

15“But Jeshurun (Israel) became fat and kicked [at God]. You became fat, thick, sleek, and obstinate! Then he abandoned God who had made him, And scorned the Rock of his salvation.

16They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods [by denying Him the honor and loyalty that is rightfully and uniquely His]; And with repulsive acts they provoked Him to anger.
