Deuteronomy 32:10–18
10 In a desertv land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.w
He shieldedx him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,y
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,z
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.a
no foreign god was with him.d
13 He made him ride on the heightse of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,f
and with oilg from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashanh
and the finest kernels of wheat.i
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.j
15 Jeshurunc k grew fatl and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandonedm the God who made them
and rejected the Rockn their Savior.
16 They made him jealouso with their foreign gods
and angeredp him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificedq to false gods,r which are not God—
gods they had not known,s
gods that recently appeared,t
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgotu the God who gave you birth.
