Deuteronomy 32
Revised Version 1895
1GiveH238 earH238, ye heavensH8064, and I will speakH1696; And let the earthH776 hearH8085 the wordsH561 of my mouthH6310: 2My doctrine shall dropH6201 as the rainH4306, My speech shall distil as the dewH2919; As the small rainH4306 uponH5921 the tenderH1877 grassH1877, And as the showersH7241 uponH5921 the herbH6212: 3For I will proclaimH7121 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068: AscribeH3051 ye greatnessH1433 unto our GodH430. 4The RockH6697, his workH6467 is perfectH8549; For allH3605 his waysH1870 are judgmentH4941: A GodH410 of faithfulnessH530 and withoutH369 iniquityH5766, JustH4941 and rightH3477 is he. 5They have dealt corruptlyH7843 with him, they are notH3808 his childrenH1121, it is their blemishH3971; They are a perverseH6141 and crookedH6141 generationH1755. 6DoH6213 ye thusH3808 requite the LORDH3068, O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwiseH2450? Is notH3808 he thy fatherH1 that hath boughtH7069 thee? He hath madeH6213 thee, and establishedH3559 thee. 7RememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH2205, ConsiderH995 the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generationsH1755: AskH7592 thy fatherH1, and he will shew thee; Thine eldersH2205, and they will tellH5046 thee. 8When the Most HighH1471 gaveH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritanceH5157, When he separatedH6504 the childrenH1121 of menH120, He setH5324 the bounds of the peoplesH5971 According to the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 9For the LORD’SH3068 portionH2506 is his peopleH5971; JacobH3290 is the lotH2506 of his inheritanceH5159. 10He foundH4672 him in a desertH3452 landH776, And in the wasteH8414 howlingH3214 wildernessH4057; He compassed him aboutH5437, he caredH995 for him, He keptH5341 him as the appleH380 of his eyeH5869: 11As an eagleH5404 that stirreth upH5375 herH3947 nestH7064, That fluttereth over herH3947 youngH1469, He spreadH6566 abroad his wingsH3671, he tookH3947 them, He bare them on his pinionsH84: 12The LORDH3068 aloneH910 did leadH5148 him, And there was noH369 strangeH5236 godH410 with him. 13He made him rideH7392 on the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776, And he did eatH398 the increase of the fieldH7704; And he made him to suckH3243 honeyH1706 outH5921 of the rockH6697, And oilH8081 outH5921 of the flintyH2496 rockH6697; 14ButterH2529 of kine, and milkH2461 of sheepH6629, With fatH2459 of lambsH3733, And ramsH352 of the breedH1121 of BashanH1316, and goatsH6260, With the fatH2459 of kidneysH3629 of wheatH2406; And of the bloodH1818 of the grapeH6025 thou drankest wineH2561. 15But JeshurunH3484 waxed fatH8080, and kickedH1163: Thou art waxen fatH8080, thou art grownH8080 thickH5666, thou art become sleekH3780: Then he forsookH5203 GodH433 which madeH6213 him, And lightly esteemed the RockH6697 of his salvationH3444. 16They moved him to jealousyH7065 with strangeH2114 gods, With abominationsH8441 provokedH3707 they him to angerH3707. 17They sacrificedH2076 unto demonsH7700, which were noH3808 GodH430, To godsH430 whom they knewH3045 notH3808, To newH2319 godsH430 that cameH935 upH935 of late, Whom your fathersH1 dreaded notH3808. 18Of the RockH6697 that begat thee thou art unmindful, And hast forgottenH7911 GodH410 that gaveH3205 thee birthH3205. 19And the LORDH3068 sawH7200 it, and abhorred them, BecauseH3708 of the provocation of his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323. 20And he saidH559, I will hideH5641 my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200 whatH4100 their endH319 shall be: For they are a very froward generationH1755, ChildrenH1121 in whom is noH3808 faith. 21They have moved meH589 to jealousyH7065 with that whichH1471 is notH3808 GodH410; They have provokedH3707 meH589 to angerH3707 with their vanitiesH1892: And I will move them to jealousyH7065 with thoseH1992 whichH1471 are notH3808 a peopleH5971; I will provokeH3707 them to angerH3707 with a foolishH5036 nationH1471. 22For a fireH784 is kindledH6919 in mine angerH639, And burneth unto the lowestH8482 pit, And devoureth the earthH776 with herH398 increaseH2981, And setteth on fireH784 the foundationsH4146 of the mountainsH2022. 23I will heapH5595 mischiefs uponH5921 them; I will spendH3615 mine arrowsH2671 uponH5921 them: 24They shall be wastedH4198 with hungerH7458, and devoured with burningH2534 heatH2534 And bitterH4815 destructionH6986; And the teethH8127 of beastsH929 will I sendH7971 upon them, With the poisonH2534 of crawling things of the dustH6083. 25Without shall the swordH2719 bereaveH7921, And in the chambersH2315 terrorH367; It shall destroyH2719 bothH1571 youngH970 manH376 and virginH1330, The suckling with the manH376 of grayH7872 hairsH7872. 26I saidH559, I would scatter them afar, I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673 from among menH582: 27Were it notH3808 that I feared the provocation of the enemyH341, LestH6435 their adversaries should misdeem, LestH6435 they should sayH559, Our handH3027 is exaltedH7311, And the LORDH3068 hath notH3808 doneH6466 allH3605 this. 28For they are a nationH1471 void of counselH6098, And there is noH369 understandingH8394 in them. 29OhH3863 that they were wiseH2449, that they understoodH995 this, That they would considerH995 their latterH319 endH319! 30HowH349 should one chaseH7291 a thousandH505, And twoH8147 putH5127 tenH7233 thousandH505 to flightH5127, ExceptH518 their RockH6697 had soldH4376 them, And the LORDH3068 had deliveredH5462 them upH5462? 31For their rockH6697 is notH3808 as our RockH6697, EvenH3588 our enemiesH341 themselves being judgesH6414. 32For their vineH1612 is of the vineH1612 of SodomH5467, And of the fieldsH7709 of GomorrahH6017: Their grapesH6025 are grapesH6025 of gallH7219, Their clustersH811 are bitterH4846: 33Their wineH3196 is the poisonH7219 of dragons, And the cruelH393 venomH2534 of asps. 34Is notH3808 this laidH3647 upH2856 in storeH3647 with meH5978, SealedH2856 upH2856 among my treasuresH214? 35VengeanceH5359 is mine, and recompence, At the time when their footH7272 shall slide: For the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 is at handH7138, And the things that are to come upon them shall makeH3588 haste. 36For the LORDH3068 shall judgeH1777 his peopleH5971, And repentH5162 himselfH3027 for his servantsH5650; When he seeth that their powerH3027 is goneH235, And there is noneH657 remaining, shutH6113 upH7200 or leftH5800 at large. 37And he shall sayH559, WhereH335 are their godsH430, The rockH6697 in which they trusted; 38WhichH834 didH834 eatH398 the fatH2459 of their sacrificesH2077, And drankH8354 the wineH3196 of their drinkH8354 offering? LetH1961 them riseH6965 upH6965 and helpH5826 youH834, LetH1961 them be your protection. 39SeeH7200 nowH6258 that I, evenH3588 I, am he, And there is noH369 godH430 with meH7200: I killH4191, and I makeH7200 aliveH2421; I have woundedH4272, and I healH7495: And there is noneH369 that canH369 deliverH5337 outH7200 of my handH3027. 40For I liftH5375 upH5375 my handH3027 to heavenH8064, And sayH559, As I liveH2416 for everH5769, 41IfH518 I whet my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, And mine handH3027 takeH7725 holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine adversaries, And will recompenseH7725 them that hateH8130 meH7725. 42I will makeH7937 mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937 with bloodH1818, And my swordH2719 shall devourH398 fleshH1320; With the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and the captivesH7633, From the headH7218 of the leadersH7218 of the enemyH341. 43RejoiceH7442, O ye nationsH1471, with his peopleH5971: For he will avengeH5358 the bloodH1818 of his servantsH5650, And will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to his adversaries, And will makeH7725 expiation for his landH127, for his peopleH5971. 44And MosesH4872 cameH935 and spake allH3605 the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the earsH241 of the peopleH5971, he, and HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of NunH5126. 45And MosesH4872 madeH1696 an endH3615 of speakingH1696 allH3605 theseH428 wordsH1697 to allH3605 IsraelH3478: 46And he saidH559 unto them, SetH7760 your heartH3824 unto allH3605 the wordsH1697 whichH834 I testify unto youH834 this dayH3117; whichH834 ye shall commandH6680 your childrenH1121, to observeH8104 to doH6213 allH3605 the wordsH1697 of this lawH8451. 47For it is noH3808 vain thingH1697 for youH859; becauseH3588 it is your lifeH3117, and throughH4480 this thingH1697 ye shall prolongH748 your daysH3117 uponH5921 the landH127, whither ye goH5674 over JordanH3383 to possessH3423 it. 48And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872 that selfsame dayH3117, sayingH559, 49GetH5927 thee upH5927 intoH413 this mountainH2022 of AbarimH5682, unto mountH2022 NeboH5015, whichH834 is in the landH776 of MoabH4124, that is over againstH5921 JerichoH3405; and beholdH7200 the landH776 of CanaanH3667, whichH834 I giveH5414 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for a possessionH272: 50and dieH4191 in the mountH2022 whither thou goest upH5927, and be gatheredH622 unto thy peopleH5971; as AaronH175 thy brotherH251 diedH4191 in mountH2022 HorH2023, and was gatheredH622 unto his peopleH5971: 51becauseH5921 ye trespassed againstH5921 meH5921 in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the watersH4325 of Meribah of KadeshH6946, in the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790; becauseH5921 ye sanctifiedH6942 meH5921 notH3808 in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 52For thou shalt seeH7200 the landH776 beforeH5048 thee; but thou shalt notH3808 goH935 thither intoH413 the landH776 whichH834 I giveH5414 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478.
