05_DEU_32_01 give ear , O ye heavens , And I will speak ; And hear , O earth , the words of my mouth .
05_DEU_32_02 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 :
05_DEU_32_03 because I will publish the name of the LORD : ascribe ye greatness unto our God .
05_DEU_32_04 [ 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 .
05_DEU_32_05 they have corrupted themselves , their spot [ Is ] not [ the spot ] of his children : [ they are ] A perverse And crooked generation .
05_DEU_32_06 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 ?
05_DEU_32_07 Remember the days of old , consider the years of Many generations : ask thy Father , And he will show thee ; thy elders , And they will tell thee .
05_DEU_32_08 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 .
05_DEU_32_09 for the LORD's portion [ Is ] his people ; Jacob [ Is ] the lot of his inheritance .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_11 as an eagle stirreth up her nest , fluttereth over her young , spreadeth abroad her wings , taketh them , beareth them on her wings :
05_DEU_32_12 [ So ] the LORD alone did lead him , And [ there was ] no strange God with him .
05_DEU_32_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 ;
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_16 they provoked him to jealousy with strange [ gods ] , with abominations provoked they him to anger .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_18 of the rock [ that ] begat thee thou art unmindful , And hast forgotten God that formed thee .
05_DEU_32_19 And when the LORD saw [ it ] , he abhorred [ them ] , because of the provoking of his sons , And of his daughters .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_23 I will heap mischiefs upon them ; I will spend mine arrows upon them .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_26 I said , I would scatter them into corners , I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men :
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_28 for they [ are ] A nation void of counsel , neither [ Is there any ] understanding in them .
05_DEU_32_29 O that they were wise , [ that ] they understood this , [ that ] they would consider their latter end !
05_DEU_32_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 ?
05_DEU_32_31 for their rock [ Is ] not as our rock , even our enemies themselves [ being ] judges .
05_DEU_32_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 :
05_DEU_32_33 their wine [ Is ] the poison of dragons , And the cruel venom of asps .
05_DEU_32_34 [ Is ] not this laid up in store with me , [ And ] sealed up among my treasures ?
05_DEU_32_35 to me [ belongeth ] vengeance , And recompense ; 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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_37 And he shall say , where [ are ] their gods , [ their ] rock in whom they trusted ,
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_40 for I lift up my hand to heaven , And say , I live for ever .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 revengers upon the enemy .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_45 And Moses made an end of speaking all These words to all Israel :
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_48 And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day , saying ,
05_DEU_32_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 :
05_DEU_32_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 :
05_DEU_32_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 .
05_DEU_32_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 .
