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;
    there were fat sheep and goats.
There were sheep and goats from Bashan [C a particularly fertile area east of the Sea of Galilee]
    and the best of the wheat.
You drank the ·juice [L fermenting/foaming blood] of grapes [C wine].

14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
    and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(M)
    and the finest kernels of wheat.(N)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(O)
