Deuteronomy 32:1-7

1Sky and earth, listen to my words! Hear what I am saying!

2My teaching will be like the rain that falls. My messages will help the people who hear them, as rain helps new grass to grow.

3I will praise the Lord's name. Everyone must know that our God is very great!

4He is the strong Rock where we can be safe. Everything that he does is perfect. He only does what is right and fair. We can trust him to be faithful.

5But you, his people, have not served him faithfully. Because of your sins, you cannot continue to be his children. You have turned against him. You enjoy doing bad things.

6You are fools who do not understand what is right. You should not do these things against the Lord. He is your Father, the one who created you. He made you become a strong nation.

7Remember what happened a long time ago. Think about the lives of your ancestors. Ask your father or the old men. They will tell you what happened in the past.
