Deuteronomy 32:1-40

1“1GiveH238 earH238, O heavensH8064, and let me speakH1696; And let the earthH776 hearH8085 the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310.22Let my teachingH3948 dropH6201 as the rainH4306, My speechH565 distillH5140 as the dewH2919, 3As the dropletsH8164 on the freshH1877 grassH1877 And as the showersH7241 on the herbH6212.34For I proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068; 5AscribeH3051 greatnessH1433 to our GodH430!46The RockH6697! His workH6467 is perfectH8549, 7For allH3605 His waysH1870 are 8justH4941; 9A GodH410 of faithfulnessH530 and withoutH369 injusticeH5766, RighteousH6662 and uprightH3477 is He.51011They have actedH7843 corruptlyH7843 toward Him, They are not His childrenH1121, because of their defectH4140; 12But are a perverseH6141 and crookedH6618 generationH1755.6Do you thusH2088 13repayH1580 the LordH3068, 14O foolishH5036 and unwiseH3808H2450 peopleH5971? 15Is not He your FatherH1 who has boughtH7069 you? 16He has madeH6213 you and establishedH3559 you.7RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, ConsiderH995 the yearsH8141 of allH1755 generationsH1755. 17AskH7592 your fatherH1, and he will informH5046 you, Your eldersH2205, and they will tellH559 you.818When the MostH5945 HighH5945 gaveH5157 the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, When He separatedH6504 the sonsH1121 of 19manH120, He setH5324 the boundariesH1367 of the peoplesH5971 20According to the numberH4557 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.921For the Lord’sH3068 portionH2506 is His peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the allotmentH2256 of His inheritanceH5159.1022He foundH4672 him in a desertH4057 landH776, And in the howlingH3214 wasteH8414 of a wildernessH3452; He encircledH5437 him, He caredH995 for him, He guardedH5431 him as 23the pupilH380 of His eyeH5869.1124Like an eagleH5404 that stirsH5782 up its nestH7064, That hoversH7363 overH5921 its youngH1469, 25He spreadH6566 His wingsH3671 and caughtH3947 them, He carriedH5375 them on His pinionsH84.1226The LordH3068 aloneH910 guidedH5148 him, 27And thereH369 was noH369 foreignH5236 godH410 with him.1328He made him rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, And he ateH398 the produceH8570 of the fieldH7706; 29And He made him suckH3243 honeyH1706 from the rockH5553, And 30oilH8081 from the flintyH2496 rockH6697,14CurdsH2529 of cowsH1241, and milkH2461 of the flockH6629, With fatH2459 of lambsH3733, And ramsH352, the breedH1121 of BashanH1316, and goatsH6260, 31With the finestH2459H3629 of the wheatH2406-- And of the 32bloodH1818 of grapesH6025 you drankH8354 wineH2561.

15“33But 34JeshurunH3484 grewH8080 fatH8080 and kickedH1163-- You are grownH8080 fatH8080, thickH5666, and sleekH3780-- 35Then he forsookH5203 GodH433 36who madeH6213 him, And scornedH5034 37the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.1638They madeH7065 Him jealousH7065 with strangeH2114 gods; 39With abominationsH8441 they provokedH3707 Him to angerH3707.1740They sacrificedH2076 to demonsH7700 who were not GodH433, 41To godsH430 whom they have not knownH3045, 42NewH2319 gods who cameH935 latelyH7138, Whom your fathersH1 did not dreadH8175.18You neglectedH7876 43the RockH6697 who begotH3205 you, 44And forgotH7911 the GodH410 who gaveH2342 you birthH2342.

19“45The LordH3068 sawH7200 this, and spurnedH5006 them 46BecauseH4480 of the provocationH3708 of His sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.20Then He saidH559, ‘I will hideH5641 My faceH6440 from them, 47I will seeH7200 whatH4100 their endH319 shall be; 48For they are a perverseH8419 generationH1755, 49SonsH1121 in whom is noH3808 faithfulnessH529.2150They have madeH7065 Me jealousH7065 with what is not GodH410; They have provokedH3707 Me to angerH3707 with their 5152idolsH1892. 53So I will make them jealousH7065 with those who are not a peopleH5971; I will provokeH3707 them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471,2254For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in My angerH639, And burnsH3344 to the lowestH8482 partH8482 of 55SheolH7585, 56And consumesH398 the earthH776 with its yieldH2981, And setsH3857 on fireH3857 the foundationsH4144 of the mountainsH2022.

23‘57I will heapH5595 misfortunesH7463 on them; 58I will useH3615 My arrowsH2671 on them.2459They will be wastedH4198 by famineH7458, and consumedH3898 by 60plagueH7565 61And bitterH4815 destructionH6986; 62And the teethH8127 of beastsH929 I will sendH7971 upon them, 63With the venomH2534 of crawlingH2119 thingsH2119 of the dustH6083.2564OutsideH4480H2351 the swordH2719 will bereaveH7921, And insideH4480H2315 terrorH367-- 65BothH1571 youngH970 manH970 and virginH1330, The nurslingH3243 with the manH376 of grayH7872 hairH7872.26I would have saidH559, “66I will cutH6284 them to piecesH6284, 67I will removeH7673 the memoryH2143 of them from menH582,”27Had I not fearedH1481 the provocationH3708 by the enemyH340, That their adversariesH6862 would misjudgeH5235, That they would sayH559, “68Our handH3027 is 69triumphantH7311, And the LordH3068 has not doneH6466 allH3605 thisH2088.”’

28“70For they are a nationH1471 71lackingH6 in counselH6098, And thereH369 is noH369 understandingH8394 in them.2972WouldH3863 that they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH7919 thisH2088, 73That they would discernH995 their 74futureH319!3075HowH351 could oneH259 chaseH7291 a thousandH505, And twoH8147 putH5127 tenH7233 thousandH7233 to flightH5127, UnlessH518H3808H3588 their 76RockH6697 had soldH4376 them, And the LordH3068 had givenH5462 them up?31IndeedH3588 their rockH6697 is not like our RockH6697, 77Even our enemiesH340 78themselves judgeH6414 this.32For their vineH1612 is from the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, And from the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017; Their grapesH6025 are grapesH6025 of 79poisonH7219, Their clustersH811, bitterH4846.33Their wineH3196 is the venomH2534 of 80serpentsH8577, And the 81deadlyH393 poisonH7219 of cobrasH6620.

34‘82Is it not laidH3647 up in storeH3647 with Me, SealedH2856 up in My treasuriesH214?3583VengeanceH5359 is Mine, and retributionH8005, 84In due timeH6256 their footH7272 will slipH4131; 85For the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is nearH7138, And the impendingH6264 thingsH6264 are hasteningH2363 upon them.’3686For the LordH3068 will vindicateH1777 His peopleH5971, 87And will haveH5162 compassionH5162 on His servantsH5650, WhenH3588 He seesH7200 that their 88strengthH3027 is goneH235, And thereH657 is noneH657 remaining, bondH6113 or freeH5800.37And He will sayH559, ‘89WhereH335 are their godsH430, The rockH6697 in which they soughtH2620 refugeH2620?3890WhoH834 ateH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, And drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drinkH5257 offeringH5257? 91Let them riseH6965 up and helpH5826 you, Let them be your hidingH5643 placeH5643!3992SeeH7200 nowH6258 that I, I am He, 93And thereH369 is noH369 godH430 besidesH5973 Me; 94It is I who putH4191 to deathH4191 and giveH2421 lifeH2421. 95I have woundedH4272 and it is I who healH7495, 96And thereH369 is noH369 oneH369 who can deliverH5337 from My handH3027.40IndeedH3588, 97I liftH5375 up My handH3027 to heavenH8064, And sayH559, as I liveH2416 foreverH5769,
