Deuteronomy 32:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance,
    when He separated the sons of man,^[a]
He set the boundaries of the peoples
    according to the number of the children of Israel.
⁹For the Lord’s portion is His people;
    Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land
and in the howling waste of a wilderness;
He led him about, He instructed him,
He protected him like the pupil of His eye.
