GIVE ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2 Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as shower on the grass.

3 For I proclaim the name of the LORD: ascribe greatness to our God.

4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His way are justice, a God of truth and without  injustice; rightepous and upright is He.

5 "They have corrupted themselves; They are not His children, because of their blemish: a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Do you thus deal with the LORD, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who brought you? Has He mot made you andestablished you?

7 "Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generation. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders and they will tell you:

8 When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, he set the boundaries of the peoplea according to the number of the children of Israel.

9 For the LORD`S portion is His people; Jacob is the palace of His inheritance.

10 "He found him in a desert land in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, he instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye.

11 As an eagle stirs up up its nest, hovers over its young, spreading out its wings, taking them up, carrying them on its wing,

12 So the LORD alone led them, and there was no foreign god with him.

13 "He made him ride in the heights of the earth, that he might eat the produce of the fields; He made him draw honey from the rock and oil from the flinty rock;

14 Curds from the cattle, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of th breed of Basan, goats, with the choicest wheat; and you drank wine, the blood of the grapes.

15 "But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat,  you grew thick, you are obese! Then he forsook God who made him, and scorfully esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked Him to jealousy with foreign gods; with abominations they provoked Him to anger.

17 They sacrified to demons, not to God, to gods they did not know, to new gods, new arrivals that your fathers dis not fear.

18 Of the Rock who begot you, you are unmimdful, and have forgotten the God who fathered you.

19" And when the LORD saw it, He spurned them, because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.

20 And He said: I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, for they a perverse generation, children in whom is no faith.

21 They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God; they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols. But I will provoked them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled in My anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell; it shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundation of the mountains.

23`I will heap diasters on them; I will spend My arrows on them.

24 They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by pestilence and bitter desrtruction; I will also send against them the teeths of beasts, with the pioson of serpentd of the dust.

25 The sword shall destroy outside; there shall be a terror within for th young man and virgin, the nursing child with the man of gray hairs.

26 I would have said, "I will dash them in pieces, I will make the memory of them to cease from among men,"

27 Had I not feared with the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should mis under stand, lest they should say, " Our hand is high; and it is not the LORD who had done all this." `

28 "For they a nation void of counsel, nor is there any understanding in them.

29 Oh, thay they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

30 How could one chase a thousand, and two put then thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had surrendered them?

31 For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the field of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.

33 Their wine are poison of serpents, and cruel venom of cobras.

34 `Is this not laid up a store with Me, saeled up among My treasures?

35 Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things to come hasten upon them.`

36" For the LORD will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone, and ther is no remaining , bond or free.

37 He will say: `Where are their gods, the rock in which they sough refuge?

38 Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drink the wine of thier drink offering? Let them rise and help you, and be your refuge.

39 ` Now see that I, even I, am He, and there is no God beside Me; I kill and make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver from My hand.

40 For I raised My hand to heaven, and say, " As I live forver,

41 If whet My glittering sword, and My hand takes hold on judgment, I will render venegeance of My enemies and repay those who hate Me. 

42 I will make My arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, whith the blood of the slain and the captives from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.

43 "Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render venegeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people."

44 So Moses came with Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.

45 Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel.

46 And he said to them: "Set your hearts on all the words which I testify among you today, which you shall command your children to be careful to obseve - all wordss of this law.

47 "For it is not  a futile thing for you, because it is your life, and by this word you shall prolong your days in the land which you cross over to Jordan to possess.  

48 Then the LORD spoke to Moses that very same day, saying:

49 "Go up this mountain of the Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of canaan, which I gave to the children of Isreal as a possession;

50 "And die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people;

51 " Because you tresspassed against Me among the  children of Israel at the waters of Meribah, in the Wilderness of Zin, because you did not hallow Me in the midst of the children of Isreal.

52 "Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel. DEUTROONOMY 32
