Deuteronomy 32:9-12
Lexham English Bible

9 For Yahweh’s portion was his people,
    Jacob the share of his inheritance.
10 He found him in a desert land,
    and in a howling, desert wasteland;
he encircled him,[a] he cared for him,
    he protected him like the apple[b] of his eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest,
    hovers over its young,
spreads out its wings, takes them,[c]
    carries them[d] on its pinions,[e]
12 so Yahweh alone guided him,[f]
    and there was no foreign god accompanying him.[g]
