Deuteronomy 32:4-9

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.

8The Most High God gave land to be the home of each nation. When he made people into separate groups, he decided where their borders should be. He did that to match the number of angels in heaven.

9But the Lord himself takes care of his own people. Jacob's descendants are his special people.
