Deuteronomy 32:1-13

1Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!

2My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.

3For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our 1God!

4[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A 2God of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.

5They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: — A crooked and perverted generation!

6Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?

7Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

8When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

9For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

10He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.

11As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,

12So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange 3god [was] with him.

13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
