Deuteronomy 32:15
Compare all
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. 
17 aThey sacrificed to demons, not to God,
To gods they did not know,
To new gods, new arrivals
That your fathers did not fear. 
18 aOf the Rock who begot you, you are unmindful,
And have bforgotten the God who fathered you. 
19 “Anda when the Lord saw it, He spurned them,
Because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters. 
20 And He said: ‘I will hide My face from them,
I will see what their end will be,
For they are a perverse generation,
aChildren in whom is no faith. 
21 aThey have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God;
They have moved Me to anger bby their foolish idols.
But cI will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation;
I will move them to anger by a foolish nation. 
22 For aa fire is kindled in My anger,
And shall burn to the1 lowest hell;
It shall consume the earth with her increase,
And set on fire the foundations of the mountains. 
23 ‘I will aheap disasters on them;
bI will spend My arrows on them. 
24 They shall be wasted with hunger,
Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction;
I will also send against them the ateeth of beasts,
With the poison of serpents of the dust. 
25 The sword shall destroy outside;
There shall be terror within
For the young man and virgin,
The nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 aI would have said, “I will dash them in pieces,
I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,” 
27 Had I not feared the wrath of the enemy,
Lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
Lest they should say, a“Our hand is high;
And it is not the Lord who has done all this.” ’ 
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
Nor is there any understanding in them.
29 aOh, that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their blatter end! 
30 How could one chase a thousand,
And two put ten thousand to flight,
Unless their Rock ahad sold them,
And the Lord had surrendered them? 
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,
aEven our enemies themselves being judges. 
32 For atheir vine is of the vine of Sodom
And of the fields of Gomorrah;
Their grapes are grapes of gall,
Their clusters are bitter. 
33 Their wine is athe poison of serpents,
And the cruel bvenom of cobras. 
34 ‘Is this not alaid up in store with Me,
Sealed up among My treasures? 
35 aVengeance is Mine, and recompense;
Their foot shall slip in due time;
bFor the day of their calamity is at hand,
And the things to come hasten upon them.’ 
36 “Fora the Lord will judge His people
bAnd have compassion on His servants,
When He sees that their power is gone,
And cthere is no one remaining, bond or free. 
37 He will say: a‘Where are their gods,
The rock in which they sought refuge? 
38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices,
And drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise and help you,
And be your refuge.
39 ‘Now see that aI, even I, am He,
And bthere is no God besides Me;
cI kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor is there any who can deliver from My hand. 
40 For I raise My hand to heaven,
And say, “As I live forever,
41 aIf I1 whet My glittering sword,
And My hand takes hold on judgment,
I will render vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me. 
42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood,
And My sword shall devour flesh,
With the blood of the slain and the captives,
From the heads of the leaders of the enemy.” ’
43 “Rejoice,a O Gentiles, with His people;
For He will bavenge the blood of His servants,
And render vengeance to His adversaries;
He cwill provide atonement for His land and His people.”  
44 So Moses came with1 Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.  
45 Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,
