Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

1 “Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak; And let the earth hear the words of my mouth.

2 Let what I have learned drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb.

3 For I proclaim the name of Yahweh; Ascribe greatness to our God!

4 The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; A God of faithfulness and without injustice, Righteous and upright is He.

5 They have acted corruptly toward Him, They are not His children because of their defect; But are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Do you thus repay Yahweh, O people who are wickedly foolish and without wisdom? Is not He your Father who has bought you? He has made you and established you.

7 Remember the ancient days, Consider the years from generation to generation. Ask your father, and he will declare to you, Your elders, and they will speak to you.

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

9 For Yahweh’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.
