Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

1 Hear, heavens, and I will speak! Listen, earth, to the words of my mouth!

2 May my instructions descend like rain and may my words flow like dew, as light rain upon the grass, and as showers upon new plants.

3 For I'll proclaim the name of our LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!

4 Flawless is the work of the Rock, because all his ways are just. A faithful God—never unjust— righteous and upright is he.

5 But those who are not his children acted corruptly against him; they are a defective and perverted generation.

6 This is not the way to repay the LORD, is it, you foolish and witless people? Is he not your father, who bought you, formed you, and established you?

7 Remember the days of old, reflect on the years of previous generations. Ask your father, and he'll tell you; your elders will inform you.

8 When the Most High gave nations as their inheritance, when he separated the human race, he set boundaries for the people according to the number of the children of God.

9 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is his allotted portion.
