Deuteronomy 32:9-11

The Voice

⁹     Because the Eternal’s territory is His people;
        and Jacob is the territory of God’s inheritance.
¹⁰     The Eternal found Jacob out in the wilderness,
        out in an empty, windswept desert wasteland.
    He put His arms around him and took care of him;
        He protected him as the apple of His eye.
¹¹     Just as an eagle stirs up its nest, encouraging its young to fly,
        and then hovers over them in case they need help,
    And spreads its wings and catches them if they fall,
        and carries them up high on its wings;
