Deuteronomy 32:1-10

1“1Listen, you heavens, and I will speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth!22May my teaching drip as the rain, My speech trickle as the dew, 3As droplets on the fresh grass, And as the showers on the vegetation.34For I proclaim the name of the Lord; 5Ascribe greatness to our God!46The Rock! His work is perfect, 7For all His ways are 8just; 9A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and just is He.51011They have acted corruptly against Him, They are not His children, because of their defect; 12But are a perverse and crooked generation.6Is this what you 13do to the Lord, 14You foolish and unwise people? 15Is He not your Father who has purchased you? 16He has made you and established you.7Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. 17Ask your father and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.818When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, When He separated the sons of 19mankind, He set the boundaries of the peoples 20According to the number of the 21sons of Israel.922For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.1023He found him in a desert land, And in the howling wasteland of a wilderness; He encircled him, He cared for him, He guarded him as 24the 25apple of His eye.
