ASV_Strong : Deuteronomy 32
1. Give ear[H238], ye heavens[H8064], and I will speak[H1696]; And let the earth[H776] hear[H8085] the words[H561] of my mouth[H6310].
2. My doctrine[H3948] shall drop[H6201] as the rain[H4306]; My speech[H565] shall distil[H5140] as the dew[H2919], As the small rain[H8164] upon the tender grass[H1877], And as the showers[H7241] upon the herb[H6212].
3. For I will proclaim[H7121] the name[H8034] of Jehovah[H3068]: Ascribe[H3051] ye greatness[H1433] unto our God[H430].
4. The Rock[H6697], his work[H6467] is perfect[H8549]; For all his ways[H1870] are justice[H4941]: A God[H410] of faithfulness[H530] and without iniquity[H5766], Just[H6662] and right is he[H3477].
5. They have dealt corruptly[H7843] with him[H3971], they are not his children[H1121], it is their blemish[H6141]; They are a perverse and crooked[H6618] generation[H1755].
6. Do ye thus requite[H1580] Jehovah[H3068], O foolish[H5036] people[H5971] and unwise[H2450]? Is not he thy father[H1] that hath bought[H7069] thee[H6213]? He hath made thee[H3559], and established thee.
7. Remember[H2142] the days[H3117] of old[H5769], Consider[H995] the years[H8141] of many[H1755] generations[H1755]: Ask[H7592] thy father[H1], and he will show[H5046] thee[H2205]; Thine elders, and they will tell thee[H559].
8. When the Most High[H5945] gave[H5157] to the nations[H1471] their inheritance[H5157], When he separated[H6504] the children[H1121] of men[H120], He set[H5324] the bounds[H1367] of the peoples[H5971] According to the number[H4557] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
9. For Jehovah[H3068]'s portion[H2506] is his people[H5971]; Jacob[H3290] is the lot[H2256] of his inheritance[H5159].
10. He found[H4672] him in a desert[H4057] land[H776], And in the waste[H8414] howling[H3214] wilderness[H3452]; He compassed him about[H5437], he cared[H995] for him[H5341], He kept him as the apple[H380] of his eye[H5869].
11. As an eagle[H5404] that stirreth up[H5782] her nest[H7064], That fluttereth[H7363] over her young[H1469], He spread abroad[H6566] his wings[H3671], he took[H3947] them[H5375], He bare them on his pinions[H84].
12. Jehovah[H3068] alone[H910] did lead[H5148] him[H5236], And there was no foreign god with him[H410].
13. He made him ride[H7392] on the high places[H1116] of the earth[H776], And he did eat[H398] the increase[H8570] of the field[H7704]; And he made him to suck[H3243] honey[H1706] out of the rock[H5553], And oil[H8081] out of the flinty[H2496] rock[H6697];
14. Butter[H2529] of the herd[H1241], and milk[H2461] of the flock[H6629], With fat[H2459] of lambs[H3733], And rams[H352] of the breed[H1121] of Bashan[H1316], and goats[H6260], With the[H2459] finest[H3629] of the wheat[H2406]; And of the[H2561] blood[H1818] of the grape[H6025] thou drankest wine[H8354].
15. But Jeshurun[H3484] waxed fat[H8080], and kicked[H1163]: Thou art waxed fat[H8080], thou art grown thick[H5666], thou art become sleek[H3780]; Then he forsook[H5203] God[H433] who made[H6213] him[H5034], And lightly esteemed the Rock[H6697] of his salvation[H3444].
16. They moved him to jealousy[H7065] with strange[H2114] gods[H8441]; With abominations provoked they him to anger[H3707].
17. They sacrificed[H2076] unto demons[H7700], which were no God[H433], To gods[H433] that they knew[H3045] not[H2319], To new gods that came[H935] up[H935] of late[H7138], Which your fathers[H1] dreaded not[H8175].
18. Of the Rock[H6697] that begat[H3205] thee thou art unmindful[H7876], And hast forgotten[H7911] God[H410] that gave thee birth[H2342].
19. And Jehovah[H3068] saw[H7200] it[H5006], and abhorred them[H3708], Because of the provocation of his sons[H1121] and his daughters[H1323].
20. And he said[H559], I will hide[H5641] my face[H6440] from them[H7200], I will see what their end[H319] shall be[H8419]: For they are a very perverse generation[H1755], Children[H1121] in whom is no faithfulness[H529].
21. They have moved me to jealousy[H7065] with that which is not[H3808] God[H410]; They have provoked me to anger[H3707] with their vanities[H1892]: And I will move them to jealousy[H7065] with those that are not a people[H5971]; I will provoke them to anger[H3707] with a foolish[H5036] nation[H1471].
22. For a fire[H784] is kindled[H6919] in mine anger[H639], And burneth[H3344] unto the lowest[H8482] Sheol[H7585], And devoureth[H398] the earth[H776] with its increase[H2981], And setteth on fire[H3857] the foundations[H4144] of the mountains[H2022].
23. I will heap[H5595] evils[H7451] upon them[H3615]; I will spend mine arrows upon them[H2671]:
24. They shall be wasted[H4198] with hunger[H7458], and devoured[H3898] with burning heat[H7565] And bitter[H4815] destruction[H6986]; And the teeth[H8127] of beasts[H929] will I send[H7971] upon them[H2534], With the poison of crawling[H2119] things of the dust[H6083].
25. Without[H2351] shall the sword[H2719] bereave[H2315], And in the chambers terror[H367]; It shall destroy[H7921] both young man[H970] and virgin[H1330], The suckling[H3243] with the man[H376] of gray hairs[H7872].
26. I said[H559], I would scatter them afar[H6284], I would make the remembrance[H2143] of them to cease[H7673] from among men[H582];
27. Were it not[H3884] that I feared[H1481] the provocation[H3708] of the enemy[H341], Lest their adversaries[H6862] should judge amiss[H5234], Lest they should say[H559], Our hand[H3027] is exalted[H7311], And Jehovah[H3068] hath not done all this[H6466].
28. For they are a nation[H1471] void[H6] of counsel[H6098], And there is no understanding in them[H8394].
29. Oh that[H3863] they were wise[H2449], that they understood[H7919] this[H995], That they would consider their latter end[H319]!
30. How should one[H259] chase[H7291] a thousand[H505], And two[H8147] put ten[H7233] thousand[H505] to flight[H5127], Except[H3808] their Rock[H6697] had sold[H4376] them[H3588], And Jehovah[H3068] had delivered them up[H5462]?
31. For their rock[H6697] is not as our Rock[H6697], Even our enemies[H341] themselves being judges[H6414].
32. For their vine[H1612] is of the vine[H1612] of Sodom[H5467], And of the fields[H7709] of Gomorrah[H6017]: Their grapes[H6025] are grapes[H6025] of gall[H7219], Their clusters[H811] are bitter[H4846]:
33. Their wine[H3196] is the poison[H2534] of serpents[H8577], And the cruel[H393] venom[H7219] of asps[H6620].
34. Is not this laid up in store[H3647] with me[H2856], Sealed up among my treasures[H214]?
35. Vengeance[H5359] is mine[H8005], and recompense, At the time[H6256] when their foot[H7272] shall slide[H4131]: For the day[H3117] of their calamity[H343] is at hand[H7138], And the things that are to come[H6264] upon them shall make haste[H2363].
36. For Jehovah[H3068] will judge[H1777] his people[H5971], And repent[H5162] himself for his servants[H5650]; When he seeth[H7200] that their power[H3027] is gone[H235], And there is none[H657] remaining[H6113], shut up or left at large[H5800].
37. And he will say[H559], Where are their gods[H430], The rock[H6697] in which they took refuge[H2620];
38. Which did eat[H398] the fat[H2459] of their sacrifices[H2077], And drank[H8354] the wine[H3196] of their drink-offering[H5257]? Let them rise up[H6965] and help[H5826] you[H5643], Let them be your protection.
39. See[H7200] now that I[H430], even I, am he, And there is no god with me[H4191]: I kill, and I make alive[H2421]; I wound[H4272], and I heal[H7495]; And there is none that can deliver[H5337] out of my hand[H3027].
40. For I lift up[H5375] my hand[H3027] to heaven[H8064], And say[H559], As I live[H2416] for ever[H5769],
41. If I whet[H8150] my glittering[H1300] sword[H2719], And my hand[H3027] take hold[H270] on judgment[H4941]; I will render[H7725] vengeance[H5359] to mine adversaries[H6862], And will recompense[H7999] them that hate me[H8130].
42. I will make mine arrows[H2671] drunk[H7937] with blood[H1818], And my sword[H2719] shall devour[H398] flesh[H1320]; With the blood[H1818] of the slain[H2491] and the captives[H7633], From the head[H7218] of the leaders[H6546] of the enemy[H341].
43. Rejoice[H7442], O ye nations[H1471], with his people[H5971]: For he will avenge[H5358] the blood[H1818] of his servants[H5650], And will render[H7725] vengeance[H5359] to his adversaries[H6862], And will make expiation[H3722] for his land[H127], for his people[H5971].
44. And Moses[H4872] came[H935] and spake[H1696] all the words[H1697] of this song[H7892] in the ears[H241] of the people[H5971], he[H1954], and Hoshea the son[H1121] of Nun[H5126].
45. And Moses[H4872] made an end[H3615] of speaking[H1696] all these words[H1697] to all Israel[H3478];
46. And he said[H559] unto them[H7760], Set your heart[H3824] unto all the words[H1697] which I testify[H5749] unto you this day[H3117], which ye shall command[H6680] your children[H1121] to observe[H8104] to do[H6213], even all the words[H1697] of this law[H8451].
47. For it is no vain[H7386] thing[H1697] for you[H2416]; because it is your life, and through this thing[H1697] ye shall prolong[H748] your days[H3117] in the land[H127], whither ye go over[H5674] the Jordan[H3383] to possess it[H3423].
48. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872] that selfsame[H6106] day[H3117], saying[H559],
49. Get thee up[H5927] into this mountain[H2022] of Abarim[H5682], unto mount[H2022] Nebo[H5015], which is in the land[H776] of Moab[H4124], that is over against[H6440] Jericho[H3405]; and behold[H7200] the land[H776] of Canaan[H3667], which I give[H5414] unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] for a possession[H272];
50. and die[H4191] in the mount[H2022] whither thou goest up[H5927], and be gathered[H622] unto thy people[H5971], as Aaron[H175] thy brother[H251] died[H4191] in mount[H2022] Hor[H2023], and was gathered[H622] unto his people[H5971]:
51. because ye trespassed[H4603] against me in the midst[H8432] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] at the waters[H4325] of Meribah of Kadesh[H4808], in the wilderness[H4057] of Zin[H6790]; because ye sanctified[H6942] me not in the midst[H8432] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
52. For thou shalt see[H7200] the land[H776] before thee[H935]; but thou shalt not go thither into the land[H776] which I give[H5414] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478].
