Deuteronomy 31:30-32:14  English Standard Version

32 “Give ear, ^(A)O heavens, and I will speak,
    and let ^(B)the earth hear the words of my mouth.
² May ^(C)my teaching drop as the rain,
    my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
    and ^(D)like showers upon the herb.
³ For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
    ascribe ^(E)greatness to our God!

^4 (F)“The Rock, ^(G)his work is perfect,
    for ^(H)all his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and ^(I)without iniquity,
    just and upright is he.
⁵ They have dealt corruptly with him;
    they are no longer his children ^(J)because they are blemished;
    they are ^(K)a crooked and twisted generation.
⁶ Do you thus repay the Lord,
    you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^(L)your father, who ^(M)created you,
    who ^(N)made you and established you?
^7 (O)Remember the days of old;
    consider the years of many generations;
^(P)ask your father, and he will show you,
    your elders, and they will tell you.
⁸ When the Most High ^(Q)gave to the nations their inheritance,
    when he ^(R)divided mankind,
he fixed the borders^[a] of the peoples
    according to the number of the sons of God.^[b]
9 But the Lord's portion is his people,
    Jacob his allotted heritage.

¹⁰ “He found him ^(S)in a desert land,
    and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he ^(T)encircled him, he cared for him,
    he ^(U)kept him as the apple of his eye.
^11 (V)Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,
    that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
    bearing them on its pinions,
^12 (W)the Lord alone guided him,
    ^(X)no foreign god was with him.
^13 (Y)He made him ride on the high places of the land,
    and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with ^(Z)honey out of the rock,
    and ^(AA)oil out of ^(AB)the flinty rock.
¹⁴ Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
    with fat^[c] of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
    with the very finest^[d] of the wheat—
    and you drank foaming wine made from ^(AC)the blood of the grape.
