 32:1  Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O
earth, the words of my mouth.
 32:2  My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall
distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and
as the showers upon the grass:
 32:3  Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
greatness unto our God.
 32:4  [He is] the Rock, his work [is] perfect: for all his
ways [are] judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just
and right [is] he.
 32:5  They have corrupted themselves, their spot [is] not [the
spot] of his children: [they are] a perverse and crooked
generation.
 32:6  Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and
unwise? [is] not he thy father [that] hath bought thee? hath he
not made thee, and established thee?
 32:7  Remember the days of old, consider the years of many
generations: ask thy father, and he will show thee; thy elders,
and they will tell thee.
 32:8  When 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.
 32:9  For the LORD'S portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the
lot of his inheritance.
 32:10  He 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.
 32:11  As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her
young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on
her wings:
 32:12  [So] the LORD alone did lead him, and [there was] no
strange god with him.
 32:13  He 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;
 32:14  Butter 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.
 32:15  But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art waxen fat,
thou art grown thick, thou art covered [with fatness]; then he
forsook God [which] made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of
his salvation.
 32:16  They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with
abominations provoked they him to anger.
 32:17  They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom
they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your
fathers feared not.
 32:18  Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and
hast forgotten God that formed thee.
 32:19  And when the LORD saw [it], he abhorred [them], because
of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
 32:20  And 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.
 32:21  They 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.
 32:22  For 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.
 32:23  I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine
arrows upon them.
 32:24  [They 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.
 32:25  The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy
both the young man and the virgin, the suckling [also] with the
man of gray hairs.
 32:26  I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make
the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
 32:27  Were 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.
 32:28  For they [are] a nation void of counsel, neither [is
there any] understanding in them.
 32:29  O that they were wise, [that] they understood this,
[that] they would consider their latter end!
 32:30  How 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?
 32:31  For their rock [is] not as our Rock, even our enemies
themselves [being] judges.
 32:32  For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and of the
fields of Gomorrah: their grapes [are] grapes of gall, their
clusters [are] bitter:
 32:33  Their wine [is] the poison of dragons, and the cruel
venom of asps.
 32:34  [Is] not this laid up in store with me, [and] sealed up
among my treasures?
 32:35  To me [belongeth] vengeance, and recompense; 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.
 32:36  For 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.
 32:37  And he shall say, Where [are] their gods, [their] rock
in whom they trusted,
 32:38  Which 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.
 32:39  See 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.
 32:40  For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for
ever.
 32:41  If 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.
 32:42  I 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.
 32:43  Rejoice, 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.
 32:44  And Moses came and spake all the words of this song in
the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
 32:45  And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to
all Israel:
 32:46  And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the
words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall
command your children to observe to do, all the words of this
law.
 32:47  For it [is] not a vain thing for you; because it [is]
your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong [your] days
in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
 32:48  And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day,
saying,
 32:49  Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, [unto] mount
Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, that [is] over against
Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the
children of Israel for a possession:
 32:50  And die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be
gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount
Hor, and was gathered unto his people:
 32:51  Because ye trespassed against me among the children of
Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of
Zin; because ye sanctified me not in the midst of the children
of Israel.
 32:52  Yet thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou
shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of
Israel.
