Deuteronomy 32:8
Compare all
6 Do you thus adeal with the Lord,
O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not byour Father, who cbought you?
Has He not dmade you and established you? 
7 “Remembera the days of old,
Consider the years of many generations.
bAsk your father, and he will show you;
Your elders, and they will tell you: 
8 When the Most High adivided their inheritance to the nations,
When He bseparated the sons of Adam,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
According to the number of the1 children of Israel. 
9 For athe Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the place of His inheritance. 
10 “He found him ain a desert land
And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness;
He encircled him, He instructed him,
He bkept him as the apple of His eye. 
11 aAs an eagle stirs up its nest,
Hovers over its young,
Spreading out its wings, taking them up,
Carrying them on its wings, 
12 So the Lord alone led him,
And there was no foreign god with him.
13 “Hea made him ride in the heights of the earth,
That he might eat the produce of the fields;
He made him draw honey from the rock,
And oil from the flinty rock; 
14 Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock,
aWith fat of lambs;
And rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
With the choicest wheat;
And you drank wine, the bblood of the grapes. 
15 “But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;
aYou grew fat, you grew thick,
You are obese!
Then he bforsook God who cmade him,
And scornfully esteemed the dRock of his salvation. 
16 aThey provoked Him to jealousy with1 foreign gods;
With abominations they provoked Him to anger.
