Het lied van Mozes
32 ‘Luister, hemelen en aarde, luister naar wat ik zeg!
2 Mijn woorden zullen op u vallen als de zachte regen en de dauw, als regensluiers op het gras en als regensluiers op het jonge groen.
3 Ik wil de grootheid van de Here uitroepen en van zijn glorie vertellen.
4 Hij is de Rots, zijn daden zijn volmaakt. Alles wat Hij doet, is rechtvaardig en goed. Hij is God, een God die trouw is, zonder bedrog, Hij is de Rechtvaardige.
5 Maar Israël is ontrouw geworden. Haar zonde is een schandvlek en zij behoort niet langer aan Hem toe. Het is een koppig en ontaard geslacht.
6 Behandelt u de Here zo, dwaas en onwijs volk? Is God dan niet uw Vader? Heeft Hij u niet gemaakt? Heeft Hij u niet voorbereid en sterk gemaakt?
7 Denk toch eens terug aan heel lang geleden, vraag het uw vader of een oudere man. Zij zullen u ervan vertellen.
8 Toen God de wereld tussen de volken verdeelde, gaf Hij elk een vast gebied. Hij stelde de grenzen vast naar het getal van de zonen van Israël.
9 Maar Israël behoort de Here toe, het is het erfdeel van de Here!
10 Hij beschermde Israël in de wildernis, in een streek die huilt van eenzaamheid, als zijn eigen oogappel.
11 Hij spreidde zijn vleugels over Israël uit, net als een arend zijn jongen op de vleugels neemt en zo beschermt. Zo doet de Here met zijn volk, de Israëlieten!
12 Toen de Here hun enige leider was en zij geen andere goden aanbaden,
13 gaf de Here vruchtbare heuveltoppen aan hen en golvende, vruchtbare velden. Honing uit de rotsen en olie uit het keiharde gesteente.
14 Hij gaf hun melk en vlees—van de beste schapen en rammen van Basan en van geiten—en het beste deel van de tarwe. Zij dronken fonkelende wijn, heerlijk druivenbloed.
15 Maar het rechtschapen Israël werd dik en vetgemest en kwam in verzet. In de overvloed vergat het zijn God en keerde de Rots van zijn behoud de rug toe.
16 Israël ging andere goden achterna en wekte zo de toorn van de Here op, want Hij is een jaloerse God.
17 Het volk bracht offers aan boze geesten, nieuwe goden die nog nooit eerder waren aanbeden.
18 De Israëlieten hadden geen oog meer voor de Rots die hen had gesteund en vergaten dat God hen had gemaakt.
19 De Here zag wat zij deden en werd daardoor zo gekrenkt dat Hij Zich van zijn kinderen afkeerde.
20 Hij zei: Ik trek Mij van hen terug, dan zullen we eens zien wat van hen terechtkomt! Want zij zijn door en door slecht, trouw kennen ze niet.
21 Zij hebben Mij diep beledigd en jaloers gemaakt op hun afgoden, die geen goden zijn. Nu zal Ik hen op mijn beurt beledigen en jaloers maken op een volk dat geen volk is, Ik maak u kwaad op een volk dat geen inzicht heeft.
22 Want mijn toorn is een brandend vuur, dat tot de bodem van de hel reikt. Het zal de aarde en alle gewassen die erop groeien, verteren en alle bergen op aarde in vuur en vlam zetten.
23 Ik zal rampen over hen uitstorten en hen met mijn pijlen neerschieten.
24 Ik zal hen laten vermageren door honger, brandende koorts en dodelijke ziekten. Ik zal wilde beesten op hen loslaten om hen met hun tanden te verscheuren en venijnige slangen die door het stof kruipen.
25 Buitenshuis zaait de oorlog verwoesting en binnenshuis heerst de angst voor de dood. Niemand wordt ontzien, man noch vrouw, jong noch oud.
26 Ik had besloten hen te verspreiden over verre landen, zodat zelfs de herinnering aan hen zou verdwijnen.
27 Maar toen bedacht Ik: “Mijn vijanden zullen leedvermaak hebben en zeggen: Israël is door onze kracht vernietigd! Het was niet de Here die dat deed.”
28 Israël is een dwaas volk zonder enig verstand.
29 Ach, Ik zou willen dat de Israëlieten wijs waren! Konden zij het maar begrijpen! Wisten zij maar wat hun te wachten staat!
30 Hoe zou één enkele vijand duizend van hen kunnen achtervolgen, hoe zouden twee vijanden tienduizend van hen op de vlucht kunnen jagen als hun Rots hen niet alleen had gelaten?
31 Want de rots van andere volken lijkt in de verste verte niet op onze Rots, gebeden tot hun goden zijn waardeloos.
32 Zij doen hetzelfde als de mannen van Sodom en Gomorra: hun daden zijn zo bitter als vergif.
33 Hun wijn is slangengif.
34 Maar Israël is mijn eigen volk, als een kostbaar juweel weggeborgen in mijn schatkamers.
35 Ik zal wraak nemen, Ik zal het kwaad vergelden. Israëls lot staat vast en het zal spoedig met het volk gedaan zijn.
36 De Here zal zijn volk recht doen en begrip tonen als de krachten van de mensen zijn uitgeput, als meester en knecht niet meer verder kunnen.
37 Dan zal de Here vragen: “Waar zijn hun goden, de rotsen waarop zij vertrouwden?
38 Waar zijn nu die goden aan wie zij hun vet en wijn offerden? Laten die goden opstaan en aantonen dat zij hen kunnen helpen.
39 Ziet u dan niet dat alleen Ik God ben? Ik dood en Ik maak weer levend. Ik verwond en Ik genees. Er is niemand die iets uit mijn macht kan bevrijden.
40,41 Ik hef mijn hand naar de hemelen en zweer bij Mijzelf: zo waar als Ik eeuwig leef, Ik zal mijn bliksemend zwaard slijpen en Mij wreken op mijn tegenstanders en op hen die Mij haten.
42 Mijn pijlen zullen dronken zijn van het bloed. Mijn zwaard zal het vlees verslinden van verslagenen en gevangenen, van de hoofden van de vijand.”
43 Volken van de wereld, wees blij met het volk van God! Want Hij wreekt het bloed van zijn dienaren en Hij wreekt zich op zijn tegenstanders. Zo verzoent Hij zijn land en zijn volk.’
44-47 Toen Mozes en Jozua alle woorden van het lied aan het volk hadden doorgegeven, zei Mozes tegen de aanwezigen: ‘Onthoud en overdenk de wetten die ik u heb gegeven. Geef ze aan uw kinderen door! Want deze wetten zijn niet alleen maar een verzameling woorden: zij zijn uw hele leven! Door ze te gehoorzamen, zult u lang en voorspoedig leven in het land dat aan de overzijde van de Jordaan ligt en dat u zo dadelijk in bezit gaat nemen.’
48-50 Nog diezelfde dag zei de Here tegen Mozes: ‘Ga naar de berg Nebo in het Abarim-gebergte tegenover Jericho, in het land Moab. Beklim de top en kijk dan uit over Kanaän, het land dat Ik het volk Israël ga geven. Nadat u het land hebt gezien, zult u sterven en zult u zich met uw voorouders verenigen, net zoals uw broer Aäron die stierf op de berg Hor. 51,52 Want u was Mij ontrouw te midden van het volk Israël bij de bronnen van Meriba, dichtbij Kades in de woestijn Sin. Aan uw voeten zult u het land zien liggen dat Ik het volk Israël geef, maar u mag het niet binnengaan.’
Deuteronomy 32

Deuteronomy 32
BRG Bible
32 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and established thee?
7 ¶ Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
8 When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the Lord’S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
12 So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19 And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not done all this.
28 For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?
31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste.
36 For the Lord shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 If I whet my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44 ¶ And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:
50 And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
51 Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.
52 Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32
New International Version
32 Listen,(A) you heavens,(B) and I will speak;
hear, you earth, the words of my mouth.(C)
2 Let my teaching fall like rain(D)
and my words descend like dew,(E)
like showers(F) on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.
3 I will proclaim(G) the name of the Lord.(H)
Oh, praise the greatness(I) of our God!
4 He is the Rock,(J) his works are perfect,(K)
and all his ways are just.
A faithful God(L) who does no wrong,
upright(M) and just is he.(N)
5 They are corrupt and not his children;
to their shame they are a warped and crooked generation.(O)
6 Is this the way you repay(P) the Lord,
you foolish(Q) and unwise people?(R)
Is he not your Father,(S) your Creator,[a]
who made you and formed you?(T)
7 Remember the days of old;(U)
consider the generations long past.(V)
Ask your father and he will tell you,
your elders, and they will explain to you.(W)
8 When the Most High(X) gave the nations their inheritance,
when he divided all mankind,(Y)
he set up boundaries(Z) for the peoples
according to the number of the sons of Israel.[b](AA)
9 For the Lord’s portion(AB) is his people,
Jacob his allotted inheritance.(AC)
10 In a desert(AD) land he found him,
in a barren and howling waste.(AE)
He shielded(AF) him and cared for him;
he guarded him as the apple of his eye,(AG)
11 like an eagle that stirs up its nest
and hovers over its young,(AH)
that spreads its wings to catch them
and carries them aloft.(AI)
12 The Lord alone led(AJ) him;(AK)
no foreign god was with him.(AL)
13 He made him ride on the heights(AM) of the land
and fed him with the fruit of the fields.
He nourished him with honey from the rock,(AN)
and with oil(AO) from the flinty crag,
14 with curds and milk from herd and flock
and with fattened lambs and goats,
with choice rams of Bashan(AP)
and the finest kernels of wheat.(AQ)
You drank the foaming blood of the grape.(AR)
15 Jeshurun[c](AS) grew fat(AT) and kicked;
filled with food, they became heavy and sleek.
They abandoned(AU) the God who made them
and rejected the Rock(AV) their Savior.
16 They made him jealous(AW) with their foreign gods
and angered(AX) him with their detestable idols.
17 They sacrificed(AY) to false gods,(AZ) which are not God—
gods they had not known,(BA)
gods that recently appeared,(BB)
gods your ancestors did not fear.
18 You deserted the Rock, who fathered you;
you forgot(BC) the God who gave you birth.
19 The Lord saw this and rejected them(BD)
because he was angered by his sons and daughters.(BE)
20 “I will hide my face(BF) from them,” he said,
“and see what their end will be;
for they are a perverse generation,(BG)
children who are unfaithful.(BH)
21 They made me jealous(BI) by what is no god
and angered me with their worthless idols.(BJ)
I will make them envious by those who are not a people;
I will make them angry by a nation that has no understanding.(BK)
22 For a fire will be kindled by my wrath,(BL)
one that burns down to the realm of the dead below.(BM)
It will devour(BN) the earth and its harvests(BO)
and set afire the foundations of the mountains.(BP)
23 “I will heap calamities(BQ) on them
and spend my arrows(BR) against them.
24 I will send wasting famine(BS) against them,
consuming pestilence(BT) and deadly plague;(BU)
I will send against them the fangs of wild beasts,(BV)
the venom of vipers(BW) that glide in the dust.(BX)
25 In the street the sword will make them childless;
in their homes terror(BY) will reign.(BZ)
The young men and young women will perish,
the infants and those with gray hair.(CA)
26 I said I would scatter(CB) them
and erase their name from human memory,(CC)
27 but I dreaded the taunt of the enemy,
lest the adversary misunderstand(CD)
and say, ‘Our hand has triumphed;
the Lord has not done all this.’”(CE)
28 They are a nation without sense,
there is no discernment(CF) in them.
29 If only they were wise and would understand this(CG)
and discern what their end will be!(CH)
30 How could one man chase a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,(CI)
unless their Rock had sold them,(CJ)
unless the Lord had given them up?(CK)
31 For their rock is not like our Rock,(CL)
as even our enemies concede.(CM)
32 Their vine comes from the vine of Sodom(CN)
and from the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are filled with poison,(CO)
and their clusters with bitterness.(CP)
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents,
the deadly poison of cobras.(CQ)
34 “Have I not kept this in reserve
and sealed it in my vaults?(CR)
35 It is mine to avenge;(CS) I will repay.(CT)
In due time their foot will slip;(CU)
their day of disaster is near
and their doom rushes upon them.(CV)”
36 The Lord will vindicate his people(CW)
and relent(CX) concerning his servants(CY)
when he sees their strength is gone
and no one is left, slave(CZ) or free.[d]
37 He will say: “Now where are their gods,
the rock they took refuge in,(DA)
38 the gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?(DB)
Let them rise up to help you!
Let them give you shelter!
39 “See now that I myself am he!(DC)
There is no god besides me.(DD)
I put to death(DE) and I bring to life,(DF)
I have wounded and I will heal,(DG)
and no one can deliver out of my hand.(DH)
40 I lift my hand(DI) to heaven and solemnly swear:
As surely as I live forever,(DJ)
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword(DK)
and my hand grasps it in judgment,
I will take vengeance(DL) on my adversaries
and repay those who hate me.(DM)
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,(DN)
while my sword devours flesh:(DO)
the blood of the slain and the captives,
the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Rejoice,(DP) you nations, with his people,[e][f]
for he will avenge the blood of his servants;(DQ)
he will take vengeance on his enemies(DR)
and make atonement for his land and people.(DS)
44 Moses came with Joshua[g](DT) 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,(DU) so that you may command(DV) your children to obey carefully all the words of this law. 47 They are not just idle words for you—they are your life.(DW) By them you will live long(DX) 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,(DY) 49 “Go up into the Abarim(DZ) Range to Mount Nebo(EA) in Moab, across from Jericho,(EB) and view Canaan,(EC) the land I am giving the Israelites as their own possession. 50 There on the mountain that you have climbed you will die(ED) and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died(EE) on Mount Hor(EF) 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(EG) in the Desert of Zin(EH) and because you did not uphold my holiness among the Israelites.(EI) 52 Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance;(EJ) you will not enter(EK) the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”
