Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

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

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

3 For the name of YHWH I proclaim; ascribe greatness to our God.

4 The Rock—perfect His work is, for all His ways are just; a God of truth and without injustice, righteous and upright is He.

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

6 Is it even to YHWH that you? would act this way, O people foolish and unwise? Is not He your Father who created you, He who made you and established you?

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

8 When the Most High gave their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples by the number of the sons of God.

9 For YHWH's portion is His people; Jacob is the place of His inheritance.
