Exo 17:14, Deu 31:19-32:44, Job 19:23-24, Psa 71:18, 78:4-6, Dan 9:2 | ESV | STEP | Then the Lord said to Moses , Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua , that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven .

14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of ^aJoshua, that ^bI will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”

Deuteronomy 31:19-30

19 “Now therefore write ^cthis song and ^dteach it to the people of Israel. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be ^ea witness for me against the people of Israel. 20 For when I have brought them into the land ^fflowing with milk and honey, which I swore to give to their fathers, and they have eaten and are full and ^ggrown fat, ^hthey will turn to other gods and serve them, and ⁱdespise me and ^jbreak my covenant. 21 And when many evils and troubles have come upon them, this song shall confront them as ^ka witness (for it will live unforgotten in the mouths of their offspring). For ^lI know what they are inclined to do even today, before I have brought them into the land that I swore to give.” 22 So Moses wrote this song the same day and taught it to the people of Israel.

23 ^mAnd the Lord ^{▼▼Hebrew he} commissioned Joshua the son of Nun and said, ^o“Be strong and courageous, for you shall bring the people of Israel into the land that I swore to give them. ^pI will be with you.”

24 When Moses had finished ^qwriting the words of this law in a book to the very end, 25 Moses commanded ^rthe Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 26 “Take this Book of the Law ^sand put it by the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for ^ta witness against you. 27 For I know how rebellious and ^ustubborn you are. Behold, even today while I am yet alive with you, ^vyou have been rebellious against the Lord. How much more after my death! 28 Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak ^wthese words in their ears and ^xcall heaven and earth to witness against them. 29 For I know that after my death ^yyou will surely act corruptly and turn aside from the way that I have commanded you. And ^zin the days to come ^aaevil will befall you, because you will do what is evil in the sight of the Lord, ^abprovoking him to anger through the work of your hands.”

The Song of Moses

30 Then Moses spoke the words of this song until they were finished, in the ears of all the assembly of Israel:

Deuteronomy 32:1-44

1 “Give ear, ^acO heavens, and I will speak,
and let ^adthe earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 May ^aemy teaching drop as the rain,
my speech distill as the dew,
like gentle rain upon the tender grass,
and ^aflike showers upon the herb.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord;
ascribe ^aggreatness to our God!
4 ^ah“The Rock, ^aihis work is perfect,
for ^ajall his ways are justice.
A God of faithfulness and ^akwithout iniquity,
just and upright is he.
5 They have dealt corruptly with him;
they are no longer his children ^albecause they are blemished;
they are ^ama crooked and twisted generation.
6 Do you thus repay the Lord,
you foolish and senseless people?
Is not he ^anyour father, who ^aocreated you,
who ^apmade you and established you?
7 ^aqRemember the days of old;
consider the years of many generations;
^arask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High ^asgave to the nations their inheritance,
when he ^atdivided 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 ^awin a desert land,
and in the howling waste of the wilderness;
he ^axencircled him, he cared for him,
he ^aykept him as the apple of his eye.
11 ^azLike an eagle that stirs up its nest,
that flutters over its young,
spreading out its wings, catching them,
bearing them on its pinions,
12 ^bathe Lord alone guided him,
^bbno foreign god was with him.
13 ^bcHe made him ride on the high places of the land,
and he ate the produce of the field,
and he suckled him with ^bdhoney out of the rock,
and ^beoil out of ^bfthe 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 ^bithe blood of the grape.
15 “But ^bjJeshurun grew fat, and ^bkkicked;
^blyou grew fat, stout, and sleek;
^bmthen he forsook God ^bnwho made him
and scoffed at ^bothe Rock of his salvation.
16 ^bpThey stirred him to jealousy with strange gods;
with abominations they provoked him to anger.
17 ^bqThey sacrificed to demons that were no gods,
to gods they had never known,
to ^brnew gods that had come recently,
whom your fathers had never dreaded.
18 You were unmindful of ^bsthe Rock that bore ^{▼▼Or fathered} you,
and you ^buforgot the God who gave you birth.
19 ^bv“The Lord saw it and spurned them,
because of the provocation of ^bwhis sons and his daughters.
20 And he said, ^bx‘I will hide my face from them;
I will see what their end will be,
for they are a perverse generation,
children in whom is no faithfulness.
21 ^byThey have made me jealous with what is no god;
they have provoked me to anger ^bzwith their idols.
So ^caI will make them jealous with those who are no people;
I will provoke them to anger with ^cba foolish nation.
22 For ^cca fire is kindled by my anger,
and it burns to ^cdthe depths of Sheol,
devours the earth and its increase,
and sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.
23 “‘And I will heap disasters upon them;
^ceI will spend my arrows on them;
24 they shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured by plague
and poisonous pestilence;
I will send ^cfthe teeth of beasts against them,
with the venom of ^cgthings that crawl in the dust.
25 ^chOutdoors the sword shall bereave,
and indoors terror,
for young man and woman alike,
the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.
26 ^ciI would have said, “I will cut them to pieces;
^cjI will wipe them from human memory,”
27 had I not feared provocation by the enemy,
lest their adversaries should misunderstand,
lest they should say, ^ck“Our hand is triumphant,
it was not the Lord who did all this.”’
28 “For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is ^clno understanding in them.
29 ^cmIf they were wise, they would understand this;
they would ^cndiscern their latter end!
30 How could ^coone have chased a thousand,
and two have put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock ^cphad sold them,
and the Lord had given them up?
31 For ^cqtheir rock is not as our Rock;
^crour enemies are by themselves.
32 For their vine ^cscomes from the vine of Sodom
and from the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of ^ctpoison;
their clusters are bitter;
33 their wine is the poison of ^cuserpents
and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “‘Is not this laid up in store with me,
^cvsealed up in my treasuries?
35 ^cwVengeance is mine, and recompense, ^{▼▼Septuagint and I will repay}
^cyfor the time when their foot shall slip;
for ^czthe day of their calamity is at hand,
and their doom comes swiftly.’
36 For ^dathe Lord will vindicate ^{▼▼Septuagint judge} his people
^dcand have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone
and there is none remaining, ^ddbond or free.
37 Then he will say, ^de‘Where are their gods,
^dfthe rock in which they took refuge,
38 who ate the fat of their sacrifices
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you;
let them be your protection!
39 “‘See now that ^dgI, even I, am he,
and there is no god beside me;
^dhI kill and I make alive;
^diI wound and I heal;
and there is none that can deliver out of my hand.
40 For ^djI lift up my hand to heaven
and swear, As I live forever,
41 if I ^dksharpen my flashing sword ^{▼▼Hebrew the lightning of my sword}
and my hand takes hold on judgment,
I will take vengeance on my adversaries
and will repay those who hate me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and ^dmmy sword shall devour flesh—
with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the ^dnlong-haired heads of the enemy.’
43 ^do“Rejoice with him, O heavens; ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text Rejoice his people, O nations}
bow down to him, all gods, ^{▼▼Masoretic Text lacks bow down to him, all gods}
for he ^dravenges the blood of his children ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text servants}
and takes vengeance on his adversaries.
He repays those who hate him ^{▼▼Dead Sea Scroll, Septuagint; Masoretic Text lacks He repays those who hate him}
and cleanses ^{▼▼Or atones for} his people’s land.” ^{▼▼Septuagint, Vulgate; Hebrew his land his people}
44 Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and ^dwJoshua ^{▼▼Septuagint, Syriac, Vulgate; Hebrew Hoshea} the son of Nun.

Job 19:23-24

23 “Oh that my words were written!
Oh that they were ^dyinscribed in a book!
24 Oh that with an iron ^dzpen and lead
they were engraved in the rock forever!

Psalms 71:18

18 So even to ^eaold age and gray hairs,
O God, ^ebdo not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.

Psalms 78:4-6

4 We will not ^echide them from their children,
but ^edtell to the coming generation
the glorious deeds of the Lord, and his might,
and ^eethe wonders that he has done.
5 He established ^efa testimony in ^egJacob
and appointed a law in ^ehIsrael,
which he commanded our fathers
to teach to their children,
6 that ^eithe next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,

Daniel 9:2

2 in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, perceived in the books the number of years that, according to ^ejthe word of the Lord to Jeremiah the prophet, must pass before the end of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.
