Settings

31:30And Moses spoke in the hearing of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song until they were completed. Compare
32:1Give ear, O heaven, and let me speak; / And let the earth hear the words of my mouth. Compare
32:2Let my teaching drop like the rain; / Let my speech distill like the dew, / Like raindrops upon tender grass, / And like abundant showers upon herbage. Compare
32:3For the name of Jehovah will I declare. / Ascribe greatness to our God! Compare
32:4The Rock-perfect is His work, / For all His ways are justice: / A God of faithfulness and without injustice; / Righteous and upright is He. Compare
32:5Corruptly have they dealt with Him-their blemish is not His sons- / A twisted and crooked generation are they. Compare
32:6Do you repay Jehovah with this, / Foolish and unwise people? / Is He not your Father who bought you? / Was it not He who made you and established you? Compare
32:7Remember the days of long ago; / Consider the years of generation upon generation; / Ask your father, and he will inform you; / Your elders, and they will tell you. Compare
32:8When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, / When He divided the sons of man, / He set the borders of the peoples / According to the number of Israel's children. Compare
32:9For Jehovah's portion is His people; / Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance. Compare
32:10He found him in a land of wilderness, / And in a howling desert waste; / He encircled him, cared for him with all attention; / He guarded him like the pupil of His eye. Compare
32:11As the eagle rouses his nest, / Hovers over his young, / Spreads his wings, takes them, / And bears them up upon his pinions; Compare
32:12So Jehovah alone led him, / And there was no strange god with Him. Compare
32:13He made him ride on the high places of the earth, / And he ate the produce of the field; / And He made him suck honey out of a crag, / And oil out of flint rock: Compare
32:14Curd of cows and milk of sheep, / With fat of lambs, / And rams, the offspring of Bashan, and goats, / With the choicest wheat; / And the blood of the grape you drank as fermenting wine. Compare
32:15But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked- / You have become fat, you have grown thick, you have gorged yourself- / And forsook God, who made him, / And treated the Rock of his salvation disdainfully. Compare
32:16They made Him jealous with strange gods; / With abominations they provoked Him to anger. Compare
32:17They sacrificed to demons, to those who were no god, / To gods they did not know, / To new ones who had recently come up, / Before whom your fathers had not shuddered. Compare
32:18You have neglected the Rock who begot you / And have forgotten the God who travailed with you. Compare
32:19And Jehovah saw and held them in contempt, / Because of anger provoked by His sons and daughters. Compare
32:20And He said, I will hide My face from them; / I will see what their latter end will be. / For they are a generation of perversions, / Children in whom is no faithfulness. Compare
32:21They have made Me jealous with a non-God; / They have provoked Me to anger with their vanities. / Hence I will make them jealous with a non-people; / With a foolish nation I will provoke them to anger. Compare
32:22For a fire is kindled in My anger / And burns unto nethermost Sheol. / And it devours the earth and its produce / And sets ablaze the foundations of the mountains. Compare
32:23I will heap evils on them; / I will use up My arrows against them. Compare
32:24They shall be sucked up by famine, / And eaten up by fire bolt / And bitter destruction; / And I will send the teeth of beasts against them, / With the venom of those that crawl in the dust. Compare
32:25The sword shall bereave outside, / And inside, terror; / Taking both the young man and the virgin, / The suckling with the gray-haired man. Compare
32:26I would have said, I will scatter them, / I will cause the memory of them to cease from among men; Compare
32:27Except I dreaded the vexation from the enemy; / Lest their adversaries misjudge; / Lest they say, Our hand is exalted, / And it is not Jehovah who has wrought all this. Compare
32:28For they are a nation destitute of counsel, / And there is no understanding in them. Compare
32:29If they had been wise, they would have comprehended this, / They would have perceived their latter end. Compare
32:30How shall one chase a thousand, / And two put ten thousand to flight, / Were it not that their Rock sold them, / And Jehovah delivered them up? Compare
32:31For their rock is not like our Rock; / And of this our enemies are judges. Compare
32:32For their vine is from Sodom's vine, / And from Gomorrah's fields; / Their grapes are the grapes of poison; / Clusters of bitterness have they. Compare
32:33Their wine is the venom of serpents / And the cruel poison of cobras. Compare
32:34Is this not laid up in store with Me, / Sealed up in My treasuries? Compare
32:35Vengeance is Mine and so is retribution, / For the time when their foot slips; / Because the day of their calamity has drawn near, / And the things destined to happen to them hasten. Compare
32:36For Jehovah will execute judgment for His people, / And He will have compassion on His servants, / When He sees that their support is gone, / And that neither fettered nor free remain. Compare
32:37And He will say, Where are their gods, / The rock they sought refuge in, Compare
32:38Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, / And drank the wine of their drink offering? / Let them rise up and help you; / Let them be a shelter over you. Compare
32:39See now that I, I am He, / And there is no god with Me. It is I who kill, and I make alive; / I wound, and it is I who heal; / And there is no one who can deliver from My hand. Compare
32:40For I lift up My hand to heaven / And say, As I live forever: Compare
32:41If I sharpen My flashing sword, / And My hand takes hold of judgment, / I will repay My adversaries with vengeance, / And those who hate Me will I recompense. Compare
32:42I will make My arrows drunk with blood, / And My sword will devour flesh- / With the blood of the slain and of the captives, / The flesh of the long-haired leaders of the enemy. Compare
32:43Shout joyously, you nations, with His people, / Because He will avenge the blood of His servants, / And He will repay His adversaries with vengeance / And will cover the guilt of His land and of His people. Compare
32:44And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun. Compare
32:45And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel. Compare
32:46And he said to them, Set your heart on all these words which I am testifying to you today. You shall command them to your children that they may be certain to do all the words of this law. Compare
32:47For it is not a matter too vain for you, because it is your life; and by this matter you will extend your days upon the land into which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess. Compare
