Deuteronomy 32

1 Moses' song, which setteth forth God's mercy and vengeance. 46 He exhorteth them to set their hearts upon it. 48 God sendeth him up to mount Nebo, to see the land, and die.

 32:1 “Give 238 ear 238, O heavens 8064, and let me speak 1696; And let the earth 776 hear 8085 the words 561 of my mouth 6310.

 32:2 “Let my teaching 3948 drop 6201 as the rain 4306, My speech 565a distill 5140 as the dew 2919, As the droplets 8164 on the fresh 1877 grass 1877 And as the showers 7241 on the herb 6212a.

 32:3 “For I proclaim 7121 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068; Ascribe 3051 greatness 1433 to our God 430!

 32:4 “The Rock 6697! His work 6467 is perfect 8549, For all 3605 His ways 1870 are just 4941; A God 410 of faithfulness 530 and without 369 injustice 5766, Righteous 6662 and upright 3477 is He.

 32:5 “They have acted 7843 corruptly 7843 toward Him, [They are] not His children 1121, because of their defect 4140b; [But are] a perverse 6141 and crooked 6618 generation 1755.

 32:6 “Do you thus 2088 repay 1580 the LORD 3068, O foolish 5036 and unwise 3808 2450 people 5971a? Is not He your Father 1 who has bought 7069 you? He has made 6213a you and established 3559 you.

 32:7 “Remember 2142 the days 3117 of old 5769, Consider 995 the years 8141 of all 1755 generations 1755. Ask 7592 your father 1, and he will inform 5046 you, Your elders 2205, and they will tell 559 you.

 32:8 “When the Most 5945b High 5945b gave 5157 the nations 1471 their inheritance 5157, When He separated 6504 the sons 1121 of man 120, He set 5324 the boundaries 1367 of the peoples 5971a According to the number 4557 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.

 32:9 “For the LORD’S 3068 portion 2506 is His people 5971a; Jacob 3290 is the allotment 2256a of His inheritance 5159.

 32:10 “He found 4672 him in a desert 4057b land 776, And in the howling 3214 waste 8414 of a wilderness 3452; He encircled 5437 him, He cared 995 for him, He guarded 5431 him as the pupil 380 of His eye 5869.

 32:11 “Like an eagle 5404 that stirs 5782 up its nest 7064, That hovers 7363b over 5921 its young 1469, He spread 6566 His wings 3671 and caught 3947 them, He carried 5375 them on His pinions 84.

 32:12 “The LORD 3068 alone 910 guided 5148 him, And there 369 was no 369 foreign 5236 god 410 with him.

 32:13 “He made him ride 7392 on the high 1116 places 1116 of the earth 776, And he ate 398 the produce 8570 of the field 7706a; And He made him suck 3243 honey 1706 from the rock 5553, And oil 8081 from the flinty 2496 rock 6697,

 32:14 Curds 2529 of cows 1241, and milk 2461 of the flock 6629, With fat 2459 of lambs 3733c, And rams 352a, the breed 1121 of Bashan 1316, and goats 6260, With the finest 2459 3629 of the wheat 2406— And of the blood 1818 of grapes 6025 you drank 8354 wine 2561.

 32:15 ¶ “But Jeshurun 3484 grew 8080 fat 8080 and kicked 1163— You are grown 8080 fat 8080, thick 5666, and sleek 3780— Then he forsook 5203 God 433 who made 6213a him, And scorned 5034a the Rock 6697 of his salvation 3444.

 32:16 “They made 7065 Him jealous 7065 with strange 2114a [gods]; With abominations 8441 they provoked 3707 Him to anger 3707.

 32:17 “They sacrificed 2076 to demons 7700 who were not God 433, To gods 430 whom they have not known 3045, New 2319 [gods] who came 935 lately 7138, Whom your fathers 1 did not dread 8175b.

 32:18 “You neglected 7876 the Rock 6697 who begot 3205 you, And forgot 7911 the God 410 who gave 2342a you birth 2342a.

 32:19 ¶ “The LORD 3068 saw 7200 [this], and spurned 5006 [them] Because 4480 of the provocation 3708a of His sons 1121 and daughters 1323.

 32:20 “Then He said 559, ‘I will hide 5641 My face 6440 from them, I will see 7200 what 4100 their end 319 [shall be]; For they are a perverse 8419 generation 1755, Sons 1121 in whom is no 3808 faithfulness 529.

 32:21 ‘They have made 7065 Me jealous 7065 with [what] is not God 410; They have provoked 3707 Me to anger 3707 with their idols 1892. So I will make them jealous 7065 with [those who] are not a people 5971a; I will provoke 3707 them to anger 3707 with a foolish 5036 nation 1471,

 32:22 For a fire 784 is kindled 6919 in My anger 639, And burns 3344 to the lowest 8482 part 8482 of Sheol 7585, And consumes 398 the earth 776 with its yield 2981, And sets 3857 on fire 3857 the foundations 4144 of the mountains 2022.

 32:23 ¶ ‘I will heap 5595 misfortunes 7463a on them; I will use 3615 My arrows 2671 on them.

 32:24 ‘[They will be] wasted 4198 by famine 7458, and consumed 3898b by plague 7565 And bitter 4815 destruction 6986; And the teeth 8127 of beasts 929 I will send 7971 upon them, With the venom 2534 of crawling 2119a things 2119a of the dust 6083.

 32:25 ‘Outside 4480 2351 the sword 2719 will bereave 7921, And inside 4480 2315 terror 367— Both 1571 young 970 man 970 and virgin 1330, The nursling 3243 with the man 376 of gray 7872 hair 7872.

 32:26 ‘I would have said 559, “I will cut 6284 them to pieces 6284, I will remove 7673a the memory 2143 of them from men 582,”

 32:27 Had I not feared 1481c the provocation 3708a by the enemy 340, That their adversaries 6862c would misjudge 5235a, That they would say 559, “Our hand 3027 is triumphant 7311, And the LORD 3068 has not done 6466 all 3605 this 2088.”’

 32:28 ¶ “For they are a nation 1471 lacking 6 in counsel 6098, And there 369 is no 369 understanding 8394 in them.

 32:29 “Would 3863 that they were wise 2449, that they understood 7919a this 2088, That they would discern 995 their future 319!

 32:30 “How 351a could one 259 chase 7291 a thousand 505, And two 8147 put 5127 ten 7233 thousand 7233 to flight 5127, Unless 518 3808 3588 their Rock 6697 had sold 4376 them, And the LORD 3068 had given 5462 them up?

 32:31 “Indeed 3588 their rock 6697 is not like our Rock 6697, Even our enemies 340 themselves judge 6414 this.

 32:32 “For their vine 1612 is from the vine 1612 of Sodom 5467, And from the fields 7709 of Gomorrah 6017; Their grapes 6025 are grapes 6025 of poison 7219, Their clusters 811, bitter 4846.

 32:33 “Their wine 3196 is the venom 2534 of serpents 8577, And the deadly 393 poison 7219 of cobras 6620.

 32:34 ¶ ‘Is it not laid 3647 up in store 3647 with Me, Sealed 2856 up in My treasuries 214?

 32:35 ‘Vengeance 5359 is Mine, and retribution 8005, In due time 6256 their foot 7272 will slip 4131; For the day 3117 of their calamity 343 is near 7138, And the impending 6264 things 6264 are hastening 2363a upon them.’

 32:36 “For the LORD 3068 will vindicate 1777 His people 5971a, And will have 5162 compassion 5162 on His servants 5650, When 3588 He sees 7200 that [their] strength 3027 is gone 235, And there 657 is none 657 [remaining], bond 6113 or free 5800a.

 32:37 “And He will say 559, ‘Where 335 are their gods 430, The rock 6697 in which they sought 2620 refuge 2620?

 32:38 ‘Who 834 ate 398 the fat 2459 of their sacrifices 2077, [And] drank 8354 the wine 3196 of their drink 5257a offering 5257a? Let them rise 6965 up and help 5826 you, Let them be your hiding 5643b place 5643b!

 32:39 ‘See 7200 now 6258 that I, I am He, And there 369 is no 369 god 430 besides 5973 Me; It is I who put 4191 to death 4191 and give 2421a life 2421a. I have wounded 4272 and it is I who heal 7495, And there 369 is no 369 one 369 who can deliver 5337 from My hand 3027.

 32:40 ‘Indeed 3588, I lift 5375 up My hand 3027 to heaven 8064, And say 559, as I live 2416a forever 5769,

 32:41 If 518 I sharpen 8150 My flashing 1300 sword 2719, And My hand 3027 takes 270 hold 270 on justice 4941, I will render 7725 vengeance 5359 on My adversaries 6862c, And I will repay 7999a those who hate 8130 Me.

 32:42 ‘I will make My arrows 2671 drunk 7937 with blood 1818, And My sword 2719 will devour 398 flesh 1320, With the blood 1818 of the slain 2491a and the captives 7633, From the long-haired 6546 leaders 7218 of the enemy 340.’

 32:43 “Rejoice 7442, O nations 1471, [with] His people 5971a; For He will avenge 5358 the blood 1818 of His servants 5650, And will render 7725 vengeance 5359 on His adversaries 6862c, And will atone 3722a for His land 127 [and] His people 5971a.”

 32:44 ¶ Then Moses 4872 came 935 and spoke 1696 all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 song 7892b in the hearing 241 of the people 5971a, he, with Joshua 1954 the son 1121 of Nun 5126.

 32:45 When Moses 4872 had finished 3615 speaking 1696 all 3605 these 428 words 1697 to all 3605 Israel 3478,

 32:46 he said 559 to them, “Take 7760 to your heart 3824 all 3605 the words 1697 with which 834 I am warning 5749b you today 3117, which 834 you shall command 6680 your sons 1121 to observe 6213a carefully 6213a, [even] all 3605 the words 1697 of this 2088 law 8451.

 32:47 “For it is not an idle 7386 word 1697 for you; indeed 3588 it is your life 2425b. And by this 2088 word 1697 you will prolong 748 your days 3117 in the land 127, which 834 you are about to cross 5674a the Jordan 3383 to possess 3423.”

 32:48 ¶ The LORD 3068 spoke 1696 to Moses 4872 that very 6106 same 6106 day 3117, saying 559,

 32:49 “Go 5927 up to this 2088 mountain 2022 of the Abarim 5682, Mount 2022 Nebo 5015a, which 834 is in the land 776 of Moab 4124 opposite 5921 6440 Jericho 3405, and look 7200 at the land 776 of Canaan 3667a, which 834 I am giving 5414 to the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 for a possession 272.

 32:50 “Then die 4191 on the mountain 2022 where 834 8033 you ascend 5927, and be gathered 622 to your people 5971b, as Aaron 175 your brother 251 died 4191 on Mount 2022 Hor 2023 and was gathered 622 to his people 5971b,

 32:51 because 5921 834 you broke 4603 faith 4603 with Me in the midst 8432 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478 at the waters 4325 of Meribah-kadesh 4809 6946, in the wilderness 4057b of Zin 6790, because 5921 834 you did not treat 6942 Me as holy 6942 in the midst 8432 of the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.

 32:52 “For you shall see 7200 the land 776 at a distance 4480 5048, but you shall not go 935 there 8033, into the land 776 which 834 I am giving 5414 the sons 1121 of Israel 3478.”
