Deuteronomy 32:7-16

7RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH2205,ConsiderH995 the yearsH8141 of many generationsH1755:AskH7592 thy fatherH1, and he will show thee;Thine eldersH2205, and they will tellH5046 thee.8When the Most High gaveH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157,When he separatedH6504 the children of menH120,He setH5324 the bounds of the peoplesH5971According to the numberH4557 of the children of IsraelH3478.9For Jehovah’s portionH2506 is his peopleH5971;JacobH3290 is the lot of his inheritanceH5159.10He foundH4672 him in a desert landH776,And in the waste howling wildernessH4057;He compassed him about, he cared for him,He keptH5341 him as the apple of his eyeH5869.11As an eagleH5404 that stirreth up her nestH7064,That fluttereth over her youngH1469,He spreadH6566 abroad his wingsH3671, he tookH3947 them,He bare them on his pinionsH84.12Jehovah aloneH910 did leadH5148 him,And there was no foreign godH410 with him.13He made him rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776,And he did eatH398 the increase of the fieldH7704;And he made him to suckH3243 honeyH1706 out of the rockH6697,And oilH8081 out of the flinty rockH6697;14Butter of the herdH1241, and milkH2461 of the flockH6629,With fatH2459 of lambsH3733,And ramsH352 of the breed of BashanH1316, and goatsH6260,With the finest of the wheatH2406;And of the bloodH1818 of the grape thou drankest wine.15But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kicked:Thou art waxed fatH8080, thou art grown thickH5666, thou art become sleek;Then he forsook GodH433 who madeH6213 him,And lightly esteemed the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.16They moved him to jealousy with strangeH2114 gods;With abominationsH8441 provokedH3707 they him to angerH3707.
