Deuteronomy 32:9-11

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ The Lord found Israel in a desert.
    He found them in an empty and windy land.
He took care of them and kept them safe.
    He guarded them as he would guard his own eyes.
¹¹ He was like an eagle that stirs up its nest.
    It hovers over its little ones.
It spreads out its wings to catch them.
    It carries them up in the air on its feathers.
