Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Give ear, O ye
heavens, and I will speak; and
hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
Let
my teaching
fall
like
rain and
my speech settle
like
dew, like
gentle
rain on
new
grass
, like
showers on
tender
plants.
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:
For
I will proclaim
the name of the LORD .
Ascribe greatness to
our God !
Because
I will publish
the name of the LORD :
ascribe ye
greatness unto
our God .
He is the Rock, His work is perfect ;
all His ways are just.
A God of faithfulness
without injustice
, righteous
and upright
is He.

for
all his ways are judgment:
a God of truth
and
without iniquity
, just
and right
is he.
His
people
have acted
corruptly
toward
Him;
the
spot on
them
is not that
of His children ,
but
of
a perverse and crooked generation.
They
have corrupted
themselves,
their
spot is not the
spot
of his children :
they
are
a perverse and crooked generation.
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
?
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
?
Remember the days of old ;
consider the years long
past.
Ask your
father, and he will tell
you,
your
elders, and they will inform
you
.
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
.
When the Most High gave
the nations their inheritance, when He divided
the sons of man
, He set the boundaries
of the peoples
according to the number of the sons
of God
.
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
.
But
the LORD’s
portion is His people ,
Jacob His allotted
inheritance.
For
the LORD's
portion is his people ;
Jacob is
the
lot
of
his inheritance.
He found him in a desert land, in a
barren,
howling wilderness; He surrounded
him, He instructed him, He guarded
him as the apple of His eye.
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.
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.
As an eagle stirreth
up her
nest ,
fluttereth
over her
young, spreadeth
abroad
her
wings ,
taketh
them ,
beareth
them on her
wings:
The LORD alone led
him, and no foreign
god was
with him.
So
the LORD alone did
lead
him, and there
was
no strange
god with him.
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,
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;
with
curds
from
the
herd
and milk from
the
flock
, with the
fat of lambs, with
rams from
Bashan, and goats, with the choicest
grains
of wheat .
From
the juice
of the finest
grapes
you
drank
the
wine
.
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
.
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.
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.
They provoked His
jealousy with foreign
gods ;
they
enraged
Him
with abominations.
They provoked him
to
jealousy with strange
gods ,
with abominations provoked
they
him
to
anger
.
They sacrificed to
demons
, not to God ,
to gods they had
not known
, to newly
arrived
gods, which
your fathers did
not fear
.
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.
You
ignored
the Rock who
brought
you
forth;
you
forgot
the
God who
gave
you
birth
.
Of
the Rock that
begat
thee
thou
art
unmindful,
and
hast
forgotten
God that
formed
thee
.
When the LORD saw this
, He rejected
them, provoked
to
anger
by
His sons and daughters.
And
when the LORD saw it
, he abhorred
them, because
of
the
provoking
of
his sons ,
and of
his
daughters.
He said :
“
I will hide My face from them ;
I will see what will
be
their end .
For they are a perverse
generation —
children of
unfaithfulness
.
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
.
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
.
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.
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.
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.
I will heap disasters
upon them; I will spend My
arrows against
them.
I will heap mischiefs
upon them; I will spend mine
arrows upon
them.
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.
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.
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.
The sword without
, and terror within,
shall
destroy
both
the young man and the virgin
, the suckling
also
with
the man of
gray
hairs
.
I would
have
said that
I would cut
them to pieces
and
blot
out
their
memory
from mankind,
I said ,
I would scatter
them into
corners,
I
would
make
the
remembrance
of
them
to cease
from among
men:
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. ’”
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.
Israel
is
a nation devoid
of counsel, with
no
understanding among
them.
For
they
are
a nation void
of counsel, neither
is
there
any
understanding in
them.
If
only
they were wise, they would
understand
it;
they would comprehend
their fate.
O
that
they were wise, that
they understood
this,
that
they would consider
their latter
end!
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?
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?
For their rock is not like
our Rock, even our enemies concede
.
For their rock is not as
our Rock, even our enemies themselves
being
judges
.
But
their vine is from
the vine of Sodom and from
the fields of Gomorrah .
Their grapes are poisonous;
their clusters are bitter .
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 :
Their wine is the venom
of serpents
, the deadly
poison
of cobras
.
Their wine is the poison
of dragons
, and
the cruel
venom
of asps
.
“Have
I
not stored
up these
things
, sealed up within
My vaults
?
Is
not this
laid
up in
store
with
me
, and
sealed up among
my treasures
?
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
. ”
To
me
belongeth
vengeance and
recompence
; 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
.
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
.
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
.
He will
say :
“
Where are their gods, the
rock in which
they took
refuge
,
And
he shall
say ,
Where are their gods, their
rock in whom
they trusted
,
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!
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.
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.
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.
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare:
As
surely
as
I live forever,
For I lift up my hand to heaven ,
and say,
I live for
ever.
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.
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.
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
. ”
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.
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.
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.
Then
Moses came with
Joshua
son
of
Nun
and recited
all the words of this song in the hearing
of the 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
.
When
Moses had
finished
reciting
all these words to all Israel ,
And
Moses made
an
end
of
speaking
all these words to all Israel :
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.
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.
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. ”
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
.
On
that
same
day
the LORD said
to
Moses,
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses that
selfsame
day
, saying,
“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 .
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 :
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 .
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 :
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
.
Because
ye
trespassed
against
me
among
the
children
of
Israel
at the waters of MeribahKadesh,
in the wilderness of Zin ;
because
ye
sanctified
me not
in the
midst
of
the
children
of
Israel
.
Although
you
shall
see from
a
distance
the land that
I am
giving
the Israelites,
you
shall
not
enter
it
. ”
Yet
thou
shalt
see the land before
thee;
but
thou
shalt
not
go
thither
unto
the
land
which
I give
the children
of
Israel
.
