Deuteronomy 32:7-14

New American Standard Bible

⁷ Remember the days of old,
Consider the years of all generations.
^(A)Ask your father and he will inform you,
Your elders, and they will tell you.
^8 (B)When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
When He separated the sons of ^[a]mankind,
He set the boundaries of the peoples
^(C)According to the number of the ^[b]sons of Israel.
^9 (D)For the Lord’s portion is His people;
Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.
^10 (E)He found him in a desert land,
And in the howling wasteland of a wilderness;
He encircled him, He cared for him,
He guarded him as ^(F)the ^[c]apple of His eye.
^11 (G)As an eagle stirs up its nest,
And hovers over its young,
^(H)He spread His wings, He caught them,
He carried them on His pinions.
^12 (I)The Lord alone guided him,
^(J)And there was no foreign god with him.
^13 (K)He had him ride on the high places of the earth,
And he ate the produce of the field;
^(L)And He had him suck honey from the rock,
And ^[d](M)oil from the flinty rock,
¹⁴ Curds of the herd, and milk of the flock,
With fat of lambs
And rams, the breed of Bashan, and of goats,
^(N)With the best of the wheat;
And you drank wine of the ^(O)blood of grapes.
