Deuteronomy 32
Last Corner of Moses
1 Incline your ear, O heavens, and I will speak: and let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
2 Drip my doctrine like rain, distill my saying as dew, as drizzle on the grass, and as drops of water on the grass.
3 For I will proclaim the name of the Lord: give greatness to our God.
4 He is the rock whose work is perfect, because all his ways are: God is the truth, and there is no unrighteousness in him; fair and straight is.
5 They have been corrupted against him, his children are not, his stain is theirs; wicked and twisted generation is.
6 Do you thus reward the Lord, a foolish and ignorant people? Is not he your Father, who bought you, made you, and established you?
7 Remember the days of old, beware of the years of many generations: Ask your father, and he will tell you to your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High distributed inheritances to the nations, and divided the children of Adam from one another, he set the terms of the peoples according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 For the potion of the LORD is his people; Jacob is the rope of his inheritance.
10 And he found him in the land of the desert, and in a howling lonely wilderness he brought him round, instructed him, kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 As the eagle awakens its nest, it moves over its children, spreads its wings, takes them and carries them on its wings.
12 Only the Lord led him: and there was no strange God with him.
13 He made him ride upon his high places, and ate the tidings of the field, and made him suck honey from the rock and oil from the hard flint.
14 Butter from cow and milk from the flock with the fat of lambs and rams grazing in Bashan and the goats, with fat from the kidneys of wheat; and you drank the blood of the grapes, the pure wine.
15 And Jesurum grew fat, and kicked; You became fat, you became thicker, and you covered yourself with fatness. You left God who did it and despised the Rock of His salvation.
16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods; with abominations they angered him.
17 Sacrifices offered to the devils, not to God, to the gods they did not know, new gods that came a little while ago, and their fathers did not tremble.
18 You have forgotten the rock that begot you: and you have forgotten the God who formed you.
19 And when the LORD saw them, he despised them, and provoked to anger their sons and their daughters.
20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a generation of wickedness, children in whom is no loyalty.
21 They have provoked me to jealousy with that which is not God; With their vanities they provoked me to anger. therefore I will provoke them to jealousy with those who are not a people; With a mad nation I will stir them up to anger.
22 For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall devour the earth with its newness, and shall burn the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap evil upon them; My arrows I will wear out against them.
24 They shall be hungry, and eaten with carbuncle and bitter plague: and I will send beast teeth among them, with a fiery serpent's poison from the dust.
25 Outside the sword shall be destroyed, and terror within: the young man with the virgin, the breast-fed child, and the man of khans.
26 I said, I would scatter them everywhere, I would make his memory to cease from among men,
27 If I have not feared the wrath of the enemy, that his adversaries may not be afraid of him, and that they may not say, Our hand is high; the Lord did not do all this.
28 For they are lacking in counsel, and understanding in them.
29 If only they were wise! let this understand, and heed their end!
30 How can one chase a thousand, and two make ten thousand flee if his Rock had not sold them, and the Lord had not delivered them?
31 For his rock is not like our rock; even our enemies being judges of this.
32 For his vineyard is the vineyard of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah: his grapes are galls, bitter bunches have.
33 His wine is a burning poison of dragons, and a venom of vipers.
34 Is not this closed with me? sealed in my treasures?
35 Vengeance and reward are mine, as long as their foot shall slip: for the day of their ruin is nigh, and the things that shall come upon them hasten to come.
36 For the LORD will do justice to his people, and repent for his servants, when he sees that his power is gone, and there is neither shut up nor forsaken.
37 Then shall he say, Where are their gods? the rock they trusted,
38 From whose sacrifices did they eat the fat, and from whose drink did they drink the wine? arise and help you, that there may be a hiding place for you.
39 See now that I, I am he, and no God with me; I kill, and I make life, I hurt, and I heal; and there is none to escape from my hand.
40 For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live forever.
41 If I sharpen my shining sword, and take my hand from judgment, I will cause vengeance to be turned upon my adversaries, and ye will reward my haters.
42 I will make my arrows of blood drunk, and my sword shall eat flesh: from the blood of the dead and the prisoners from the head shall there be vengeance on the enemy.
43 Rejoice, O nations, with his people; for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and bring vengeance upon their adversaries, and have mercy upon their land and upon their people.
44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 And when Moses had spoken all these words unto all Israel,
46 And he said unto them, Apply your heart to all the words which I bear witness among you this day, that ye may commend them to your children, that they may be careful to keep all the words of this law.
47 For this word is not vain unto you, but your life; and by the same word ye shall prolong the days in the land which ye pass by over Jordan, to possess.
48 And Jehovah spake unto Moses that day, saying,
49 Go up to the hill of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho, and see the land of Canaan, which I will give unto the children of Israel for a possession.
50 And die on the mountain, to which thou shalt go up; and gather yourselves unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and gathered himself unto his peoples.
51 Because you have transgressed against me in the midst of the children of Israel in the waters of contention in Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin; for you have not sanctified me among the children of Israel.
52 Therefore you shall see the land before you, but you shall not enter it into the land which I will give to the children of Israel.
