Deuteronomy 32:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ But the Lord's portion is his people: Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

¹⁰ He found him in a desert land, in a place of horror, and of vast wilderness: he led him about, and taught him: and he kept him as the apple of his eye.

¹¹ As the eagle enticing her young to fly, and hovering over them, he spread his wings, and hath taken him and carried him on his shoulders.
