lesserot - Deuteronomy:31:30-32:47

lesserot@Deuteronomy:31:30 @ And Moses spoke in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:1 @ Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:2 @ My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as heavy rains upon the grass, and as showers upon herbs.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:3 @ When I call on the name of the Lord, ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:4 @ He is the Rock, his work is perfect; for all his ways are just: the God of truth and without iniquity, just and upright is he.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:5 @ The corruption is not his, it is the defect of his children, of the perverse and crooked generation.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:6 @ Will ye thus requite the Lord, O people, worthless and unwise? is he not thy father who hath bought thee? is it not he who hath made thee, and established thee?

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:7 @ Remember the days of old, consider the years of former generations; ask thy father, and he will tell thee; thy elders, and they will say it unto thee:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:8 @ When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of man: he set the bounds of the tribes according to the number of the sons of Israel.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:9 @ For the portion of the Lord is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:10 @ He found him in a desert land, and in the waste of the howling of the wilderness; he encircled him, he watched him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:11 @ As an eagle stirreth up his nest, fluttereth over his young, spreadeth abroad his wings, seizeth them, beareth them aloft on his pinions:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:12 @ So did the Lord alone lead him, and there was not with him a stranger god.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:13 @ He caused him to stride on the high places of the earth, and he ate the products of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty stone;

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:14 @ Cream of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of wheat; and of the blood of the grape thou drunkest unmixed wine.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:15 @ Thus did Yeshurun grow fat, and he kicked; and then he forsook the God who made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:16 @ They incensed him with strange gods, with abominations they provoked him to anger.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:17 @ They sacrificed unto evil spirits, things that are not god, gods that they know not, new ones lately come up, which your fathers dreaded not.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:18 @ Of the Rock that begat thee thou wast unmindful, and forgottest the God that had brought thee forth.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:19 @ And the Lord saw this, and he was angry; because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:20 @ And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end will be; for a perverse generation are they, children in whom there is no faith.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:21 @ They have moved me to wrath with things that are not god; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities; and I too will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a worthless nation.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:22 @ For a fire is kindled in my anger, and it burneth unto the lowest deep; and it consumeth the earth with her products, and it setteth on fire the foundations of the mountains.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:23 @ I will heap upon them miseries; all my arrows will I spend upon them.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:24 @ They shall be wasted with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter deadly disease; also the tooth of beasts will I let loose against them, with the poison of serpents that crawl in the dust.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:25 @ Without shall the sword destroy, and terror within the chambers, both the young man and the virgin, the suckling with the man of gray hairs.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:26 @ I said, I would drive them into one corner, I would cause their remembrance to cease from among men:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:27 @ Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their oppressors should mistake the truth, lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the Lord hath not wrought all this.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:28 @ For a nation void of counsel are they, and there is no understanding in them.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:29 @ If they were but wise, they would understand this, they would consider their latter end!

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:30 @ How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the Lord had delivered them up?

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

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:32 @ For from the vine of Sodom is their vine, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, they bear bitter clusters.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:33 @ The poison of serpents is their wine, and the deadly venom of asps.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:34 @ Behold! this is laid up in store with me, it is sealed up among my treasures!

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:35 @ Mine are vengeance and recompense, at the time that their foot shall slip; for nigh draweth the day of their calamity, and the future speedeth along for them.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:36 @ For the Lord will espouse the cause of his people, and bethink himself concerning his servants: when he seeth that their power is gone, and the guarded and fortified axe no more.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:37 @ Then will he say, Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted,

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:38 @ They that ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drinkofferings? let them arise and help you, let them be a protection over you.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:39 @ See now that I, even I, am he, ard there is no god with me: I alone kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; and no one can deliver out of my hand.

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

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:41 @ When I whet my glittering sword, and my hand taketh hold on judgment: I will render vengeance unto my enemies, and those that hate me will I requite.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:42 @ I will make my arrows drunken with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; from the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the crushed head of the enemy.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:43 @ Speak aloud, O ye nations, the praises of his people; for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and vengeance will he render to his adversaries, and forgive his land, and people.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:44 @ And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:45 @ And when Moses had made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:46 @ He said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify against you this day, so that ye may command them your children, to observe to do all the words of this law.

lesserot@Deuteronomy:32:47 @ For it is not a vain word for you; on the contrary, it is your life; and through this word shall ye live many days in the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.
