41The RockH6697! His workH6467 is perfectH8549, 2For allH3605 His waysH1870 are 3justH4941; 4A GodH410 of faithfulnessH530 and withoutH369 injusticeH5766, RighteousH6662 and justH3477 is He.556They have actedH7843 corruptlyH7843 against Him, They are not His childrenH1121, because of their defectH4140; 7But are a perverseH6141 and crookedH6618 generationH1755.6Is thisH2088 what you 8doH1580 to the LordH3068, 9You foolishH5036 and unwiseH3808H2450 peopleH5971? 10Is He not your FatherH1 who has purchasedH7069 you? 11He has madeH6213 you and establishedH3559 you.7RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, ConsiderH995 the yearsH8141 of allH1755 generationsH1755. 12AskH7592 your fatherH1 and he will informH5046 you, Your eldersH2205, and they will tellH559 you.813When the MostH5945 HighH5945 gaveH5157 the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, When He separatedH6504 the sonsH1121 of 14mankindH120, He setH5324 the boundariesH1367 of the peoplesH5971 15According to the numberH4557 of the 16sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.917For the Lord’sH3068 portionH2506 is His peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the allotmentH2256 of His inheritanceH5159.1018He foundH4672 him in a desertH4057 landH776, And in the howlingH3214 wastelandH8414 of a wildernessH3452; He encircledH5437 him, He caredH995 for him, He guardedH5341 him as 19the 20appleH380 of His eyeH5869.1121As an eagleH5404 stirsH5782 upH5782 its nestH7064, And hoversH7363 overH5921 its youngH1469, 22He spreadH6566 His wingsH3671, He caughtH3947 them, He carriedH5375 them on His pinionsH84.1223The LordH3068 aloneH910 guidedH5148 him, 24And thereH369 wasH369 noH369 foreignH5236 godH410 with him.1325He had him rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, And he ateH398 the produceH8570 of the fieldH7706; 26And He had him suckH3243 honeyH1706 from the rockH5553, And 2728oilH8081 from the flintyH2496 rockH6697,14CurdsH2529 of the herdH1241, and milkH2461 of the flockH6629, With fatH2459 of lambsH3733 And ramsH352, the breedH1121 of BashanH1316, and of goatsH6260, 29With the bestH2459H3629 of the wheatH2406; And you drankH8354 wineH2561 of the 30bloodH1818 of grapesH6025.
15“31But 32JeshurunH3484 becameH8080 fatH8080 and kickedH1163-- You have becomeH8080 fatH8080, thickH5666, and obstinateH3780-- 33Then he abandonedH5203 GodH433 34who madeH6213 him, And 35rejectedH5034 36the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444.1637They madeH7065 Him jealousH7065 with strangeH2114 gods; 38With abominationsH8441 they provokedH3707 Him toH3707 angerH3707.1739They sacrificedH2076 to demonsH7700, who were not GodH433, 40To godsH430 whom they have not knownH3045, 41NewH2319 gods who cameH935 latelyH4480H7138, Whom your fathersH1 did not knowH8175.18You forgotH5382 42the RockH6697 who fatheredH3205 you, 43And forgotH7911 the GodH410 who gaveH2342 you birthH2342.
