Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

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

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain. My speech shall condense as the dew, as the small rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God.

4 The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A faithful God and without iniquity, just and right is he.

5 They have dealt corruptly with him. They are not his children, because of their defect. They are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Do you thus requite the LORD, foolish people and unwise? Isn't he your father who has bought you? He has made you, and established you.

7 Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

8 When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided humankind, he set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the children of God.

9 For the LORD's portion is his people. Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
