shall
drop
as
the

distil
as
the
dew, As
the
small
rain upon
the
tender
grass, And
as
the
showers upon
the
herb
.

my teaching
fall
like
rain and
my speech settle
like

gentle
rain on
new
grass, like

tender
plants

our God .

are'

Him ;

Do
ye
thus
requite
Jehovah
, O foolish people
and unwise
? Is not
he thy
father that
hath
bought
thee
? He hath
made thee,
and established thee.
Is
this
how
you
repay
the
LORD
, O foolish and senseless
people
? Is He not
your
Father and
Creator
? Has
He not
made you
and established you?

father, and he will show
thee;
Thine
elders, and they will tell
thee
.

portion is His people ,
Jacob His allotted
inheritance.

in the
waste
howling wilderness; He compassed
him about
, he cared
for
him, He kept
him as the apple of his eye.

barren,
howling wilderness; He surrounded
him, He instructed
him, He guarded
him as the apple of His eye.

stirreth
up her
nest ,
That
fluttereth
over her
young, He spread abroad
his wings ,
he
took
them ,
He
bare
them on his pinions.
As an eagle stirs
up its
nest and
hovers
over its
young, He spread His wings to
catch
them and
carried
them on His pinions.
Jehovah
alone did
lead
him, And there
was
no foreign god with him.
The
LORD
alone led
him, and no foreign god was
with him.

places
of the earth,
And he
did
eat
the increase
of the field ;
And
he made
him to
suck
honey out
of
the rock ,
And oil out
of
the flinty rock;
He made him ride on the heights
of the land
and fed
him
the produce
of the field .
He nourished
him with
honey from
the rock and oil from
the flinty crag,
Butter
of
the herd ,
and milk of
the flock, With fat of lambs, And
rams of
the
breed
of
Bashan, and goats, With the finest
of the
wheat ;
And
of
the blood
of the grape
thou
drankest
wine.

But Jeshurun waxed
fat ,
and kicked :
Thou
art
waxed
fat, thou
art
grown
thick
, thou
art
become
sleek;
Then
he forsook
God who made him ,
And lightly
esteemed
the Rock of his salvation.
But Jeshurun grew
fat and kicked —
becoming
fat, bloated
, and
gorged.
He abandoned
the
God who made him and scorned
the Rock of his salvation.
They moved
him
to
jealousy with strange
`
gods '
; With
abominations
provoked
they him to
anger
.
They provoked
His
jealousy with foreign
gods; they enraged
Him with
abominations
.
They sacrificed unto
demons, `which
were'

they knew
not, To new
`
gods '
that
came
up
of
late
, Which your fathers dreaded
not.
They sacrificed to
demons, not
to
God, to gods they had
not known
, to newly
arrived

the Rock that
begat

thou
art
unmindful,
And
hast
forgotten
God that
gave thee
birth.

them '

provocation
of
his sons and his
daughters.

, He
rejected

to
anger
by
His sons and daughters.

he said ,
I will hide my face from them ,
I will see what their end shall
be:
For they are a very
perverse generation ,
Children in
whom
is
no
faithfulness
.
He said :
“
I will hide My face from them ;
I will see what will
be
their end .

children of

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 that
are not a people; I will provoke
them to
anger
with
a foolish
nation.
They have provoked
My
jealousy by
that which is not God; they have enraged
Me with their worthless
idols.
So
I will make
them jealous
by
those who
are not a people; I will make
them angry
by
a nation without
understanding
.
For a fire is
kindled in
mine
anger, And burneth
unto
the lowest
Sheol ,
And
devoureth
the earth with
its increase
, And setteth
on
fire
the foundations of the mountains.
For a fire has
been
kindled by
My
anger, and it
burns
to
the depths
of
Sheol ;
it
consumes
the earth and
its produce
, and scorches
the foundations of the mountains.
I will heap evils
upon them; I will spend mine
arrows upon
them :
I will heap disasters
upon them; I will spend My
arrows against
them .
`
They shall
be '
wasted with
hunger ,
and devoured
with
burning
heat
And bitter destruction
; And
the teeth
of beasts will
I
send
upon
them, With the poison
of
crawling
things
of the dust.
They will
be wasted from
hunger and ravaged
by
pestilence
and bitter plague
; I
will
send
the fangs
of wild
beasts against
them, with the venom
of vipers
that
slither
in
the dust.
Without
shall
the sword bereave
, And in
the
chambers
terror ;
`It
shall
destroy'
both
young man and virgin
, The suckling
with
the man
of
gray hairs
.
Outside,
the sword will
take
their
children
, and inside,
terror will
strike
the
young man and the
young
woman
, the infant
and
the gray -haired
man
.
I said,
I
would scatter
them
afar,
I would make
the
remembrance
of
them to cease
from among
men;
I would have
said
that
I would cut
them to pieces
and
blot
out
their
memory
from mankind,
Were
it
not
that
I feared
the provocation
of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should
judge
amiss,
Lest
they
should
say ,
Our hand is
exalted,
And
Jehovah
hath
not done
all this.
if
I had
not
dreaded
the taunt
of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand
and
say :
‘
Our own
hand has
prevailed;
it
was
not the
LORD
who
did
all this. ’”
For
they
are
a nation void
of counsel, And
there
is
no understanding in
them.
Israel
is
a nation devoid
of counsel, with
no understanding among
them.
Oh
that
they were wise, that
they understood
this,
That
they would consider
their latter
end!
If
only
they were wise, they would
understand
it;
they would comprehend
their fate.
How should
one chase
a thousand, And
two put ten thousand to flight, Except
their Rock had sold them, And
Jehovah
had delivered
them up?
How could
one man
pursue
a thousand, or
two put ten thousand to flight, unless
their Rock had sold them, unless
the
LORD
had given
them up?
For their rock is not as
our Rock, Even our enemies themselves
being
judges
.
For their rock is not like
our Rock, even our enemies concede
.
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 :
But
their vine is from
the vine of Sodom and from
the fields of Gomorrah .
Their grapes are poisonous;
their clusters are bitter .
Their wine is the poison
of serpents, And
the cruel
venom
of asps
.
Their wine is the venom
of serpents, the deadly
poison
of cobras
.
Is
not this
laid
up in
store
with
me
, Sealed up among
my treasures
?
“Have
I
not stored
up these
things
, sealed up within
My vaults
?
Vengeance is mine ,
and
recompense,
At
the
time when
their foot shall
slide:
For the
day of their
calamity
is at
hand
, And the
things
that
are
to
come
upon
them
shall
make
haste
.
Vengeance is Mine ;
I
will
repay.
In
due
time their foot will
slip;
for their
day of disaster
is near
, and their
doom
is
coming
quickly
. ”
For Jehovah
will judge
his people ,
And repent
himself
for
his servants ;
When he seeth
that `
their '
power
is gone ,
And there
is
none
`remaining'
, shut
up
or left
at
large
.
For the
LORD
will vindicate
His people and have
compassion
on
His servants when He sees
that their strength
is gone and no
one
remains
, slave
or free
.
And
he will say ,
Where are their gods, The rock in which they took refuge ;
He will say :
“
Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge ,
Which did
eat
the fat of their sacrifices ,
`
And '
drank the wine of their drink -offering
? Let them rise up and help you ,
Let them be
your
protection.
which ate
the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings
? Let them rise up and help you ;
let them give
you
shelter!
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 ;
And there is none
that
can deliver out
of
my hand.
See now that I am He ;
there is no God besides
Me .
I bring
death
and I give
life
; I wound and I heal ,
and there is no
one
who
can deliver from
My hand.
For I lift up my hand to heaven ,
And say,
As I live for
ever
,
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare:
As surely
as
I live forever
,
If
I whet
my glittering
sword, And my hand take
hold
on
judgment ;
I will render
vengeance to
mine
adversaries ,
And will
recompense
them
that
hate me.
when
I sharpen
My flashing
sword, and My hand grasps
it
in
judgment ,
I will take
vengeance on
My
adversaries and repay
those
who
hate Me.
I will make mine
arrows drunk with blood, And
my sword shall
devour
flesh ;
With
the blood of the slain and the
captives, From
the head
of
the
leaders
of the enemy.
I will make My
arrows drunk with blood, while
My sword devours
flesh —
the blood of the slain and captives, the heads
of the enemy leaders
. ”
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 make
expiation
for
his land ,
for
his people.
Rejoice, O heavens,
with
Him,
and
let
all
God’s
angels
worship
Him.
Rejoice,
O
nations, with His people ;
for He will avenge the blood of His children.
He
will take
vengeance on
His adversaries and repay
those
who
hate
Him;
He
will cleanse
His land and
His people.
And
Moses came and spake
all the words of this song in the ears
of the people ,
he,
and
Hoshea
the
son
of
Nun
.
Then
Moses came with
Joshua
son
of
Nun
and recited
all the words of this song in the hearing
of the people.
And
Moses made
an
end
of
speaking
all these words to all Israel ;
When
Moses had
finished
reciting
all these words to all Israel ,
And
he said unto
them, Set
your
heart unto
all the
words which
I testify unto
you this
day
, which
ye
shall
command your children to observe
to
do,
`even'
all the words of this law.
he said to
them, “Take
to
heart all these
words I testify among
you today
, so
that
you
may
command your children to carefully
follow
all the words of this law.
For it
is
no
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
the Jordan to possess it
.
For they
are
not
idle
words
to
you ,
because they
are
your life, and by
them
you
will
live
long
in the land that
you
are
crossing
the Jordan to possess. ”
And
Jehovah
spake
unto
Moses
that selfsame
day ,
saying
,
On
that same
day the
LORD
said
to
Moses
,
Get
thee
up into this
mountain
of
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 ;
“Go
up into the
Abarim Range
to
Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across
from
Jericho ,
and view
the land of Canaan, which I am
giving
to
the Israelites
as
their
own
possession .
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 :
And there
on
the mountain
that
you
climb
, you
will
die
and be gathered to
your
people, just
as your
brother Aaron
died on
Mount Hor and was gathered to
his people .
because
ye
trespassed
against
me
in
the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel
at the waters of Meribah of
Kadesh ,
in the wilderness of Zin ;
because
ye
sanctified
me
not
in
the
midst
of the children
of
Israel
.
For
at the waters of Meribah -
kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin ,
both
of you
broke
faith
with
Me
among
the Israelites
by
failing
to
treat
Me
as
holy
in
their
presence
.
For
thou
shalt
see the
land
before
thee;
but
thou
shalt
not
go
thither
into
the land which
I give
the children
of
Israel
.
Although
you
shall
see from
a
distance
the land that
I am
giving
the Israelites,
you
shall
not
enter
it
. ”
