7 All this took place because the Israelites had sinned(A) against the Lord their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt(B) from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods

5 Samaria, throw out your calf-idol!(A)
My anger burns against them.
How long will they be incapable of purity?(B)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a metalworker has made it;
it is not God.(C)
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf(D) of Samaria.(E)
7 “They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.(F)
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.(G)
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.(H)
8 Israel is swallowed up;(I)
now she is among the nations
like something no one wants.(J)
9 For they have gone up to Assyria(K)
like a wild donkey(L) wandering alone.
Ephraim has sold herself to lovers.(M)
10 Although they have sold themselves among the nations,
I will now gather them together.(N)
They will begin to waste away(O)
under the oppression of the mighty king.
11 “Though Ephraim built many altars for sin offerings,
these have become altars for sinning.(P)
12 I wrote for them the many things of my law,
but they regarded them as something foreign.(Q)
13 Though they offer sacrifices as gifts to me,
and though they eat(R) the meat,
the Lord is not pleased with them.(S)
Now he will remember(T) their wickedness
and punish their sins:(U)
They will return to Egypt.(V)
14 Israel has forgotten(W) their Maker(X)
and built palaces;
Judah has fortified many towns.
But I will send fire on their cities
that will consume their fortresses.”(Y)

The Charge Against Israel
4 Hear the word of the Lord, you Israelites,
because the Lord has a charge(A) to bring
against you who live in the land:(B)
“There is no faithfulness,(C) no love,
no acknowledgment(D) of God in the land.(E)
2 There is only cursing,[a] lying(F) and murder,(G)
stealing(H) and adultery;(I)
they break all bounds,
and bloodshed follows bloodshed.(J)
3 Because of this the land dries up,(K)
and all who live in it waste away;(L)
the beasts of the field, the birds in the sky
and the fish in the sea are swept away.(M)

New International Version
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.(A) 3 They became prostitutes in Egypt,(B) engaging in prostitution(C) from their youth.(D) In that land their breasts were fondled and their virgin bosoms caressed.(E) 4 The older was named Oholah, and her sister was Oholibah. They were mine and gave birth to sons and daughters. Oholah is Samaria, and Oholibah is Jerusalem.(F)
5 “Oholah engaged in prostitution while she was still mine; and she lusted after her lovers, the Assyrians(G)—warriors(H) 6 clothed in blue, governors and commanders, all of them handsome young men, and mounted horsemen. 7 She gave herself as a prostitute to all the elite of the Assyrians and defiled herself with all the idols of everyone she lusted after.(I) 8 She did not give up the prostitution she began in Egypt,(J) when during her youth men slept with her, caressed her virgin bosom and poured out their lust on her.(K)
9 “Therefore I delivered her into the hands(L) of her lovers,(M) the Assyrians, for whom she lusted.(N) 10 They stripped(O) her naked, took away her sons and daughters and killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women,(P) and punishment was inflicted(Q) on her.(R)
11 “Her sister Oholibah saw this,(S) yet in her lust and prostitution she was more depraved than her sister.(T) 12 She too lusted after the Assyrians—governors and commanders, warriors in full dress, mounted horsemen, all handsome young men.(U) 13 I saw that she too defiled herself; both of them went the same way.(V)
14 “But she carried her prostitution still further. She saw men portrayed on a wall,(W) figures of Chaldeans[a] portrayed in red,(X) 15 with belts(Y) around their waists and flowing turbans on their heads; all of them looked like Babylonian chariot officers, natives of Chaldea.[b] 16 As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers(Z) to them in Chaldea.(AA)

Deuteronomy 32:15-52
New International Version
15 Jeshurun[a](A) grew fat(B) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(C) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(D) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(E) with their foreign gods
and angered(F) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(G) to false gods,(H) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(I)
gods that recently appeared,(J)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot(K) the God who gave you birth.
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(L)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(M)
20 “I will hide my face(N) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(O)
children who are unfaithful.(P)
21 They made me jealous(Q) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(R)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(S)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(T)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(U)
It will devour(V) the earth and its harvests(W)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(X)
23 “I will heap calamities(Y) on them
and spend my arrows(Z) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(AA) against them,
consuming pestilence(AB) and deadly plague;(AC)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(AD)
the venom of vipers(AE) that glide in the dust.(AF)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(AG) will reign.(AH)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(AI)
26 I said I would scatter(AJ) them
and erase their name from human memory,(AK)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(AL)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(AM)
28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(AN) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(AO)
and discern what their end will be!(AP)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(AQ)
unless their Rock had sold them,(AR)
unless the Lord had given them up?(AS)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(AT)
as even our enemies concede.(AU)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(AV)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(AW)
and their clusters with bitterness.(AX)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(AY)
34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
and sealed it in my vaults?(AZ)
35 It is mine to avenge;(BA) I will repay.(BB)
In due time their foot will slip;(BC)
their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them.(BD)”
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(BE)
and relent(BF) concerning his servants(BG)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(BH) or free.[b]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(BI)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(BJ)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(BK)
There is no god besides me.(BL)
I put to death(BM) and I bring to life,(BN)
I have wounded and I will heal,(BO)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(BP)
40 I lift my hand(BQ) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(BR)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(BS)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(BT) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(BU)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(BV)
while my sword devours flesh:(BW)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(BX) you nations, with his people,[c][d]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(BY)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(BZ)
and make atonement for his land and people.(CA)
44 Moses came with Joshua[e](CB) son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people. 45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel, 46 he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day,(CC) so that you may command(CD) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(CE) By them you will live long(CF) in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Moses to Die on Mount Nebo
48 On that same day the Lord told Moses,(CG) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(CH) Range to Mount Nebo(CI) in Moab, across from Jericho,(CJ) and view Canaan,(CK) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(CL) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(CM) on Mount Hor(CN) and was gathered to his people. 51 This is because both of you broke faith with me in the presence of the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh(CO) in the Desert of Zin(CP) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(CQ) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(CR) you will not enter(CS) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”

New International Version
15 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me?(A) Tell the Israelites to move on. 16 Raise your staff(B) and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water(C) so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground. 17 I will harden the hearts(D) of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them.(E) And I will gain glory through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen. 18 The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord(F) when I gain glory through Pharaoh, his chariots and his horsemen.”
19 Then the angel of God,(G) who had been traveling in front of Israel’s army, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud(H) also moved from in front and stood behind(I) them, 20 coming between the armies of Egypt and Israel. Throughout the night the cloud brought darkness(J) to the one side and light to the other side; so neither went near the other all night long.
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand(K) over the sea,(L) and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind(M) and turned it into dry land.(N) The waters were divided,(O) 22 and the Israelites went through the sea(P) on dry ground,(Q) with a wall(R) of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen(S) followed them into the sea. 24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud(T) at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.(U) 25 He jammed[a] the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, “Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting(V) for them against Egypt.”(W)
26 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may flow back over the Egyptians and their chariots and horsemen.” 27 Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea went back to its place.(X) The Egyptians were fleeing toward[b] it, and the Lord swept them into the sea.(Y) 28 The water flowed back and covered the chariots and horsemen—the entire army of Pharaoh that had followed the Israelites into the sea.(Z) Not one of them survived.(AA)
29 But the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground,(AB) with a wall(AC) of water on their right and on their left. 30 That day the Lord saved(AD) Israel from the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians lying dead on the shore.
