Deuteronomy 32 — ENGLXXUP

32 Verse 1 Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; ^{Verse 2} Let my speech be looked for as the rain, ^{Verse 3} For I have called on the name of the Lord: ^{Verse 4} As for God, his works are true, ^{Verse 5} They have sinned, not pleasing him; spotted children, ^{Verse 6} Do ye thus recompense the Lord? ^{Verse 7} Remember the days of old, ^{Verse 8} When the Most High divided the nations, ^{Verse 9} And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, ^{Verse 10} He maintained him in the wilderness, ^{Verse 11} As an eagle would watch over his brood, ^{Verse 12} The Lord alone led them, ^{Verse 13} He brought them up on the strength of the land; ^{Verse 14} Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, ^{Verse 15} So Jacob ate and was filled, ^{Verse 16} They provoked me to anger with strange gods; ^{Verse 17} They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; ^{Verse 18} Thou hast forsaken God that begot thee, ^{Verse 19} And the Lord saw, and was jealous; ^{Verse 20} And said, I will turn away my face from them, ^{Verse 21} They have provoked me to jealousy with that which is not God, ^{Verse 22} For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, ^{Verse 23} I will gather evils upon them, ^{Verse 24} They shall be consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, ^{Verse 25} Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, ^{Verse 26} I said, I will scatter them, ^{Verse 27} Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, ^{Verse 28} It is a nation that has lost counsel, ^{Verse 29} They had not sense to understand: ^{Verse 30} How should one pursue a thousand, ^{Verse 31} For their gods are not as our God, ^{Verse 32} For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, ^{Verse 33} Their wine is the rage of serpents, ^{Verse 34} Lo! are not these things stored up by me, ^{Verse 35} In the day of vengeance I will recompense, ^{Verse 36} For the Lord shall judge his people, ^{Verse 37} And the Lord said, Where are their gods ^{Verse 38} The fat of whose sacrifices ye ate, ^{Verse 39} Behold, behold that I am he, ^{Verse 40} For I will lift up my hand to heaven, ^{Verse 41} For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, ^{Verse 42} I will make my weapons drunk with blood, ^{Verse 43} Rejoice, ye heavens, with him, ^{Verse 44} And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. ^{Verse 45} And Moses finished speaking to all Israel. ^{Verse 46} And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which ye shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law. ^{Verse 47} For this is no vain word to you; for it is your life, and because of this word ye shall live long upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it. ^{Verse 48} And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying, ^{Verse 49} Go up to the Mount Abarim, this mountain Nebo which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the sons of Israel: ^{Verse 50} and die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be added to thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in Mount Hor, and was added to his people. ^{Verse 51} Because ye disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me not among the sons of Israel. ^{Verse 52} Thou shalt see the land before thee, but thou shalt not enter into it.
