Deuteronomy32
1/Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear ,O earth, the words of my mouth.
2/my doctine shall drop as the rain, my speech ahll distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3/Becauise I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye gratness unto our god.
4/He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his way are judgment: a god of truth and without iniquity and right is he.
5/They have corrupted themselves, thwir spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked genertion.
6/Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and establshed thee?
7/Remember the days of old , conaider the yesrs of many generaitions: ask thy father , and he willshew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8/When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the number of the children of Israel.
9/for the LORD`s portion is his people; Jacob is the iot of his inheritance lot of his inhertance .
10/He found him in a desert land , and in the waste howling wildreness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11/As an eagle strreth up her nest, flttereth over her young, spreadth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12/So the LORD alone did lead him , and there was no strane god with him
13/He made him ride on the high places of the earth that he mibht eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14/Butter of kine, and millk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kindneys of wheat; and thou didst frink the pure blood of the grape.
15/But Jashurun waxed fat, and kicked; thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, fat covered with farness; then he forsook god which made him. and lightiy esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16/they provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abminations anger.
17/they sacrificed unto devils, not to god; to gods whom they knew not, to nmew gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not
18/Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast fogotten god that formed thee.
19/and when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them because of the provking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20/And he said , I will hide my face from them ,I will see what their end shall be; for they are a very froward generstion, children in whom is no faith.
21/They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not god; they have provoked me to amger with their vanities; and I will move them to jealousy with thouse which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish notion.
22/For afire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the eaeth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the foundations of the mountains.
23/I will heep mischiefs upon them ;I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24/they shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning hest, and with bitter destruction; I will also sent the teeth of besats upon them of beasts upon them with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25/The sward without, and terror within , asll destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26/I said, I would scatter them into coners, I would make the remembrsnce of them to cease from among men:
27/Were it not that I feard the wrath of the enemy. least their abversaries should behave themselves strangely, and leat they should say Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this.
28/for they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29/O that they were wise that they understood this, that thay would consider their latter end!
30/how should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight except their Rock nad sold them , and the LORD had shut them up?
31/For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judes.
32/For their vine is of the vine of Sodom , and of the fields of Gomorrsh; thelr their clusters are bitter:
33/their wine is the [oison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34/Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among , and sealed up among my treasures?
35/To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; their foot for the day of their calamity is at hand , and the things that shall come upomn them make haste.
36/for the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left .
37/and he shall say, where are their gods, their rock in whom thay trusted ,
38/Which did est the fat of their sacrifces, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39/See now that I, even I am he, and there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; nrither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40/See now that I, even I. am he, and there is no god with me ; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40/for I lift up my hand to heaven, and say I live for ever.
41/If whet my glittering sword, and mine hand rake hold on judgment; I mine enemies, and will reward rhem that hate me.
42/I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh and that with the bllood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43/Rejice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance will adversries, and will be merciful unto his land and to his people.
44/and moses come and soake all the words of this song in the eard of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45/and moses made an end of spesking all these words to all Israel:
46/and he said unto them, Set your hesrts unto all the words which i testify which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47/for it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days inthe land whither ye go over Jordan possess it .
48/and the LORD soeake unto Moses that selfsame day saying,
49/Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of moab, that is over against Jericho; and behoold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession;
50/And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoplr; as Asron thy brether died in mount hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51/Because ye trespassed aginst me among the chilren of Israel at the waters of Meribahkadesh , in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52/Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which i give the children of Isreal.
