10 He found them in a ·desert [wilderness],
    a windy, ·empty [unformed; Gen. 1:2] land.
He surrounded them and brought them up,
    guarding them as ·those he loved very much [L the apple/pupil of his eye].
11 He was like an eagle ·building [watching; stirring up] its nest
    that ·flutters [hovers] over its young.
It spreads its wings to catch them
    and carries them on its feathers.
12 The Lord alone led them,
    and there was no foreign god ·helping [L with] him.

13 The Lord ·brought them to [or made them ride over] the heights of the land
    and fed them the fruit of the fields.
He ·gave them [suckled them with] honey from the rocks,
    bringing oil from the ·solid [flint] rock.
14 There were milk curds from the cows and milk from the flock;

You drank the ·juice [L fermenting/foaming blood] of grapes [C wine].
