Deuteronomy 32:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 My teaching will drop like the rain, my sayings will drip like the dew, as rain drops upon the grass, and showers upon new growth.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; you must acknowledge the greatness of our God.
4 As for the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. He is a reliable God who is never unjust, he is fair and upright.
5 His people have been unfaithful to him; they have not acted like his children� this is their sin. They are a perverse and deceitful generation.
6 Is this how you repay the LORD, you foolish, unwise people? Is he not your father, your creator? He has made you and established you.
7 Remember the ancient days; bear in mind the years of past generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided up humankind, he set the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the heavenly assembly.
9 For the LORD's allotment is his people, Jacob is his special possession.
10 The LORD found him in a desolate land, in an empty wasteland where animals howl. He continually guarded him and taught him; he continually protected him like the pupil of his eye.
11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, that hovers over its young, so the LORD spread out his wings and took him, he lifted him up on his pinions.
12 The LORD alone was guiding him, no foreign god was with him.
13 He enabled him to travel over the high terrain of the land, and he ate of the produce of the fields. He provided honey for him from the cliffs, and olive oil from the hardest of rocks,
14 butter from the herd and milk from the flock, along with the fat of lambs, rams and goats of Bashan, along with the best of the kernels of wheat; and from the juice of grapes you drank wine.
15 But Jeshurun became fat and kicked, you got fat, thick, and stuffed! Then he deserted the God who made him, and treated the Rock who saved him with contempt.
16 They made him jealous with other gods, they enraged him with abhorrent idols.
17 They sacrificed to demons, not God, to gods they had not known; to new gods who had recently come along, gods your ancestors had not known about.
18 You have forgotten the Rock who fathered you, and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.
19 But the LORD took note and despised them because his sons and daughters enraged him.
20 He said, "I will reject them, I will see what will happen to them; for they are a perverse generation, children who show no loyalty.
21 They have made me jealous with false gods, enraging me with their worthless gods; so I will make them jealous with a people they do not recognize, with a nation slow to learn I will enrage them.
22 For a fire has been kindled by my anger, and it burns to lowest Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will increase their disasters, I will use up my arrows on them.
24 They will be starved by famine, eaten by plague, and bitterly stung; I will send the teeth of wild animals against them, along with the poison of creatures that crawl in the dust.
25 The sword will make people childless outside, and terror will do so inside; they will destroy both the young man and the virgin, the infant and the gray-haired man.
26 "I said, 'I want to cut them in pieces. I want to make people forget they ever existed.
27 But I fear the reaction of their enemies, for their adversaries would misunderstand and say, "Our power is great, and the LORD has not done all this!"'
28 They are a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding among them.
29 I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them."
30 How can one man chase a thousand of them, and two pursue ten thousand; unless their Rock had delivered them up, and the LORD had handed them over?
31 For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.
32 For their vine is from the stock of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes contain venom, their clusters of grapes are bitter.
33 Their wine is snakes' poison, the deadly venom of cobras.
34 "Is this not stored up with me?" says the LORD, "Is it not sealed up in my storehouses?
35 I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!"
36 The LORD will judge his people, and will change his plans concerning his servants; when he sees that their power has disappeared, and that no one is left, whether confined or set free.
37 He will say, "Where are their gods, the rock in whom they sought security,
38 who ate the best of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise and help you; let them be your refuge!
39 "See now that I, indeed I, am he!" says the LORD, "and there is no other god besides me. I kill and give life, I smash and I heal, and none can resist my power.
40 For I raise up my hand to heaven, and say, 'As surely as I live forever,
41 I will sharpen my lightning-like sword, and my hand will grasp hold of the weapon of judgment; I will execute vengeance on my foes, and repay those who hate me!
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh� the blood of the slaughtered and captured, the chief of the enemy's leaders!'"
43 Cry out, O nations, with his people, for he will avenge his servants' blood; he will take vengeance against his enemies, and make atonement for his land and people.
44 Then Moses went with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song to the people.
45 When Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel
46 he said to them, "Keep in mind all the words I am solemnly proclaiming to you today; you must command your children to observe carefully all the words of this law.
47 For this is no idle word for you� it is your life! By this word you will live a long time in the land you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."
48 Then the LORD said to Moses that same day,
49 "Go up to this Abarim hill country, to Mount Nebo (which is in the land of Moab opposite Jericho) and look at the land of Canaan that I am giving to the Israelites as a possession.
50 You will die on the mountain that you ascend and join your deceased ancestors, just as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and joined his deceased ancestors,
51 for both of you rebelled against me among the Israelites at the waters of Meribah Kadesh in the desert of Zin when you did not show me proper respect among the Israelites.
52 You will see the land before you, but you will not enter the land that I am giving to the Israelites."
1 Give ear, H238 O ye heavens, H8064 and I will speak; H1696 and hear, H8085 O earth, H776 the words H561 of my mouth. H6310
2 My doctrine H3948 shall drop H6201 as the rain, H4306 my speech H565 shall distill H5140 as the dew, H2919 as the small rain H8164 upon H5921 the tender herb, H1877 and as the showers H7241 upon H5921 the grass: H6212
3 Because H3588 I will publish H7121 the name H8034 of the LORD: H3068 ascribe H3051 ye greatness H1433 unto our God. H430
4 He is the Rock, H6697 his work H6467 is perfect: H8549 for H3588 all H3605 his ways H1870 are judgment: H4941 a God H410 of truth H530 and without H369 iniquity, H5766 just H6662 and right H3477 is he. H1931
5 They have corrupted H7843 themselves , their spot H3971 is not H3808 the spot of his children: H1121 they are a perverse H6141 and crooked H6618 generation. H1755
6 Do ye thus H2063 requite H1580 the LORD, H3068 O foolish H5036 people H5971 and unwise H3808 H2450 ? is not H3808 he H1931 thy father H1 that hath bought H7069 thee? hath he H1931 not made H6213 thee , and established H3559 thee?
7 Remember H2142 the days H3117 of old, H5769 consider H995 the years H8141 of many generations H1755 H1755 : ask H7592 thy father, H1 and he will show H5046 thee ; thy elders, H2205 and they will tell H559 thee.
8 When the most High H5945 divided H5157 to the nations H1471 their inheritance , when he separated H6504 the sons H1121 of Adam, H120 he set H5324 the bounds H1367 of the people H5971 according to the number H4557 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
9 For H3588 the LORD's H3068 portion H2506 is his people; H5971 Jacob H3290 is the lot H2256 of his inheritance. H5159
10 He found H4672 him in a desert H4057 land, H776 and in the waste H8414 howling H3214 wilderness; H3452 he led him about, H5437 he instructed H995 him , he kept H5341 him as the apple H380 of his eye. H5869
11 As an eagle H5404 stirreth up H5782 her nest, H7064 fluttereth H7363 over H5921 her young, H1469 spreadeth abroad H6566 her wings, H3671 taketh H3947 them, beareth H5375 them on H5921 her wings: H84
12 So the LORD H3068 alone H910 did lead H5148 him , and there was no H369 strange H5236 god H410 with H5973 him.
13 He made him ride H7392 on H5921 the high places H1116 of the earth, H776 that he might eat H398 the increase H8570 of the fields; H7704 and he made him to suck H3243 honey H1706 out of the rock H4480 H5553 , and oil H8081 out of the flinty H4480 H2496 rock; H6697
14 Butter H2529 of kine, H1241 and milk H2461 of sheep, H6629 with H5973 fat H2459 of lambs, H3733 and rams H352 of the breed H1121 of Bashan, H1316 and goats, H6260 with H5973 the fat H2459 of kidneys H3629 of wheat; H2406 and thou didst drink H8354 the pure H2561 blood H1818 of the grape. H6025
15 But Jeshurun H3484 waxed fat, H8080 and kicked: H1163 thou art waxen fat, H8080 thou art grown thick, H5666 thou art covered H3780 with fatness ; then he forsook H5203 God H433 which made H6213 him , and lightly esteemed H5034 the Rock H6697 of his salvation. H3444
16 They provoked him to jealousy H7065 with strange H2114 gods , with abominations H8441 provoked they him to anger. H3707
17 They sacrificed H2076 unto devils, H7700 not H3808 to God; H433 to gods H430 whom they knew H3045 not, H3808 to new H2319 gods that came H935 newly up H4480 H7138 , whom your fathers H1 feared H8175 not. H3808
18 Of the Rock H6697 that begot H3205 thee thou art unmindful, H7876 and hast forgotten H7911 God H410 that formed H2342 thee.
19 And when the LORD H3068 saw H7200 it , he abhorred H5006 them , because of the provoking H4480 H3708 of his sons, H1121 and of his daughters. H1323
20 And he said, H559 I will hide H5641 my face H6440 from H4480 them , I will see H7200 what H4100 their end H319 shall be : for H3588 they H1992 are a very froward H8419 generation, H1755 children H1121 in whom is no H3808 faith. H529
21 They H1992 have moved me to jealousy H7065 with that which is not H3808 God; H410 they have provoked me to anger H3707 with their vanities: H1892 and I H589 will move them to jealousy H7065 with those which are not H3808 a people; H5971 I will provoke them to anger H3707 with a foolish H5036 nation. H1471
22 For H3588 a fire H784 is kindled H6919 in mine anger, H639 and shall burn H3344 unto H5704 the lowest H8482 hell, H7585 and shall consume H398 the earth H776 with her increase, H2981 and set on fire H3857 the foundations H4146 of the mountains. H2022
23 I will heap H5595 mischiefs H7451 upon H5921 them ; I will spend H3615 mine arrows H2671 upon them.
24 They shall be burnt H4198 with hunger, H7458 and devoured H3898 with burning heat, H7565 and with bitter H4815 destruction: H6986 I will also send H7971 the teeth H8127 of beasts H929 upon them, with H5973 the poison H2534 of serpents H2119 of the dust. H6083
25 The sword H2719 without H4480 H2351 , and terror H367 within H4480 H2315 , shall destroy H7921 both H1571 the young man H970 and H1571 the virgin, H1330 the suckling H3243 also with H5973 the man H376 of gray hairs. H7872
26 I said, H559 I would scatter them into corners, H6284 I would make the remembrance H2143 of them to cease H7673 from among men H4480 H376 :
27 Were it not that H3884 I feared H1481 the wrath H3708 of the enemy, H341 lest H6435 their adversaries H6862 should behave themselves strangely, H5234 and lest H6435 they should say, H559 Our hand H3027 is high, H7311 and the LORD H3068 hath not H3808 done H6466 all H3605 this. H2063
28 For H3588 they H1992 are a nation H1471 void H6 of counsel, H6098 neither H369 is there any understanding H8394 in them.
29 O that H3863 they were wise, H2449 that they understood H7919 this, H2063 that they would consider H995 their latter end H319 !
30 How H349 should one H259 chase H7291 a thousand, H505 and two H8147 put H5127 ten thousand H7233 to flight, H5127 except H518 H3808 H3588 their Rock H6697 had sold H4376 them , and the LORD H3068 had shut them up H5462 ?
31 For H3588 their rock H6697 is not H3808 as our Rock, H6697 even our enemies H341 themselves being judges. H6414
32 For H3588 their vine H1612 is of the vine H4480 H1612 of Sodom, H5467 and of the fields H4480 H7709 of Gomorrah: H6017 their grapes H6025 are grapes H6025 of gall, H7219 their clusters H811 are bitter: H4846
33 Their wine H3196 is the poison H2534 of dragons, H8577 and the cruel H393 venom H7219 of asps. H6620
34 Is not H3808 this H1931 laid up in store H3647 with H5978 me and sealed up H2856 among my treasures H214 ?
35 To me belongeth vengeance, H5359 and recompense; H8005 their foot H7272 shall slide H4131 in due time: H6256 for H3588 the day H3117 of their calamity H343 is at hand, H7138 and the things that shall come H6264 upon them make haste. H2363
36 For H3588 the LORD H3068 shall judge H1777 his people, H5971 and repent himself H5162 for H5921 his servants, H5650 when H3588 he seeth H7200 that H3588 their power H3027 is gone, H235 and there is none H657 shut up, H6113 or left. H5800
37 And he shall say, H559 Where H335 are their gods, H430 their rock H6697 in whom they trusted, H2620
38 Which H834 did eat H398 the fat H2459 of their sacrifices, H2077 and drank H8354 the wine H3196 of their drink offerings H5257 ? let them rise up H6965 and help H5826 you, and be H1961 H5921 your protection. H5643
39 See H7200 now H6258 that H3588 I, H589 even I, H589 am he, H1931 and there is no H369 god H430 with H5978 me: I H589 kill, H4191 and I make alive; H2421 I wound, H4272 and I H589 heal: H7495 neither H369 is there any that can deliver H5337 out of my hand H4480 H3027 .
40 For H3588 I lift up H5375 my hand H3027 to H413 heaven, H8064 and say, H559 I H595 live H2416 forever. H5769
41 If H518 I whet H8150 my glittering H1300 sword, H2719 and mine hand H3027 take hold H270 on judgment; H4941 I will render H7725 vengeance H5359 to mine enemies, H6862 and will reward H7999 them that hate H8130 me.
42 I will make mine arrows H2671 drunk H7937 with blood H4480 H1818 , and my sword H2719 shall devour H398 flesh; H1320 and that with the blood H4480 H1818 of the slain H2491 and of the captives, H7633 from the beginning H4480 H7218 of revenges H6546 upon the enemy. H341
43 Rejoice H7442 , O ye nations, H1471 with his people: H5971 for H3588 he will avenge H5358 the blood H1818 of his servants, H5650 and will render H7725 vengeance H5359 to his adversaries, H6862 and will be merciful H3722 unto his land, H127 and to his people. H5971
44 And Moses H4872 came H935 and spoke H1696 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 song H7892 in the ears H241 of the people, H5971 he, H1931 and Hoshea H1954 the son H1121 of Nun. H5126
45 And Moses H4872 made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 to H413 all H3605 Israel: H3478
46 And he said H559 unto H413 them, Set H7760 your hearts H3824 unto all H3605 the words H1697 which H834 I H595 testify H5749 among you this day, H3117 which H834 ye shall command H6680 H853 your children H1121 to observe H8104 to do, H6213 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 law. H8451
47 For H3588 it H1931 is not H3808 a vain H7386 thing H1697 for H4480 you; because H3588 it H1931 is your life: H2416 and through this H2088 thing H1697 ye shall prolong H748 your days H3117 in H5921 the land, H127 whither H834 H8033 ye H859 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 to possess H3423 it.
48 And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 that H2088 selfsame H6106 day, H3117 saying, H559
49 Get thee up H5927 into H413 this H2088 mountain H2022 Abarim, H5682 unto mount H2022 Nebo, H5015 which H834 is in the land H776 of Moab, H4124 that H834 is over H5921 against H6440 Jericho; H3405 and behold H7200 H853 the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 which H834 I H589 give H5414 unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for a possession: H272
50 And die H4191 in the mount H2022 whither H834 H8033 thou H859 goest up, H5927 and be gathered H622 unto H413 thy people; H5971 as H834 Aaron H175 thy brother H251 died H4191 in mount H2022 Hor, H2023 and was gathered H622 unto H413 his people: H5971
51 Because H5921 H834 ye trespassed H4603 against me among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 at the waters H4325 of Meribah H4809 H6946 -Kadesh , in the wilderness H4057 of Zin; H6790 because H5921 H834 ye sanctified H6942 me not H3808 in the midst H8432 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
52 Yet H3588 thou shalt see H7200 H853 the land H776 before H4480 H5048 thee ; but thou shalt not H3808 go H935 thither H8033 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I H589 give H5414 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
