32:8When 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.

32:9For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

32:10He 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.

32:11As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:

32:12So the Lord alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.

32:13He 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;

32:14Butter 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.

Selected passage

32:16They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.

32:17They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.

32:18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.

32:19And when the Lord saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

32:20And 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.

32:21They 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.

32:22For 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.

32:23I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.

32:24They 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.

32:25The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.

32:26I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:

32:27Were 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.

32:28For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.

32:29O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

32:30How 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?

32:31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32:32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:

32:33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

32:34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

32:35To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; 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.

32:36For 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.

32:37And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,

32:38Which 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.

32:39See 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.

32:40For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.

32:41If 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.

32:42I 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 revenges upon the enemy.

32:43Rejoice, 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.
