Deuteronomy 32:7-18

7 ^aRemember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
^bask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High ^cgave to the nations their inheritance,
when he ^ddivided mankind,
he fixed the borders ^{▼▼Or territories} of the peoples
according to the number of the sons of God. ^{▼▼Compare Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text sons of Israel}
9 But the Lord’s portion is his people,
Jacob his allotted heritage.
10 “He found him ^gin a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he ^hencircled him, he cared for him,
he ⁱkept him as the apple of his eye.
11 ^jLike an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 ^kthe Lord alone guided him,
^lno foreign god was with him.
13 ^mHe made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with ⁿhoney out of the rock,
and ^ooil out of ^pthe flinty rock.
14 Curds from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat ^{▼▼That is, with the best} of lambs,
rams of Bashan and goats,
with the very finest ^{▼▼Hebrew with the kidney fat} of the wheat—
and you drank foaming wine made from ^sthe blood of the grape.
15 “But ^tJeshurun grew fat, and ^ukicked;
^vyou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
^wthen he forsook God ^xwho made him
and scoffed at ^ythe Rock of his salvation.
16 ^zThey stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 ^aaThey sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to ^abnew gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of ^acthe Rock that bore ^{▼▼Or fathered} you,
and you ^aeforgot the God who gave you birth.
