Deuteronomy 32:7-14
English Standard Version
7 (A)Remember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
(B)ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High (C)gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he (D)divided mankind,
he fixed the borders[a] of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God.[b]
9 But the Lord's portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
10 “He found him (E)in a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he (F)encircled him, he cared for him,
he (G)kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 (H)Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 (I)the Lord alone guided him,
(J)no foreign god was with him.
13 (K)He made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with (L)honey out of the rock,
and (M)oil out of (N)the flinty rock.
14 Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat[c] of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
with the very finest[d] of the wheat—
and you drank foaming wine made from (O)the blood of the grape.
