Deuteronomy 32:9-14

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

10The Lord found them in a desert place. It was a place where strong winds blew and nobody lived. He took care of them and he kept them safe. He protected them, like someone protects their own eyes.

11The Lord took care of his people, like an eagle takes care of its babies. As an eagle flies with its babies on its back, the Lord helped his people to be safe.

12The Lord alone was a guide for his people. He needed no foreign god to help him.

13The Lord helped them to travel over the high places in the land. He fed them with food from the fields. He made them strong with honey from the rocks. He gave them olive oil from trees in ground with many stones.

14Their cows and their goats gave them plenty of milk and butter. Their lambs, sheep and goats became fat, so they ate the best meat. They ate the best bread from their wheat. They drank the best wine from their grapes.
