hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:2 |

My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech
shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers
upon the grass: |
| |
|

|
Because I will publish the name of the LORD:
ascribe ye greatness unto our God. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:4 |

his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is
he. |

not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation. |
| |

and unwise? is not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee,
and established thee? |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:7 |

Remember the days of old, consider the years
of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they
will tell thee. |
|
|

no strange god with him. |
|

|
| Deuteronomy 32:13 |

He made him ride on the high places of the earth,
that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out
of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock; |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:14 |
|
Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat
of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys
of wheat; and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape. |
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:15 |

waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he forsook
God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation. |

with abominations provoked they him to anger. |
|
|

gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared
not. |
|
|
|

Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,
and hast forgotten God that formed thee. |
|
|

I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children
in whom is no faith. |
| |
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:21 |
|
They have moved me to jealousy with that which
is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move
them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger
with a foolish nation. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:22 |
|
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall
burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and
set on fire the foundations of the mountains. |

mine arrows upon them. |

with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of
beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust. |

I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men: |

|
| Deuteronomy 32:27 |
|
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy,
lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should
say, Our hand is high, and the LORD hath not done all this. |

is there any understanding in them. |
|
|
|
|

O that they were wise, that they understood
this, that they would consider their latter end! |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:30 |

How should one chase a thousand, and two put
ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut
them up? |
|
|
|

| Deuteronomy 32:31 |
|
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our
enemies themselves being judges. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:32 |
|
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and
of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are
bitter: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:33 |
|
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the
cruel venom of asps. |
|
|

up among my treasures? |

foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the
things that shall come upon them make haste. |

rock in whom they trusted, |
|
|
|
|

drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be
your protection. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:39 |
|
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is
no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there
any that can deliver out of my hand. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:40 |
|
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I
live for ever. |
|
|
|
|

take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward
them that hate me. |

I will make mine arrows drunk with blood, and
my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,
from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy. |

Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for
he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries,
and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people. |

song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:45 |
|
And Moses made an end of speaking all these
words to all Israel: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:46 |
|
And he said unto them, Set your hearts unto
all the words which I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your
children to observe to do, all the words of this law. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:47 |
|
For it is not a vain thing for you; because
it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land,
whither ye go over Jordan to possess it. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:48 |
|
And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame
day, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:49 |
|
Get thee up into this mountain Abarim, unto
mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold
the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:50 |
|
And die in the mount whither thou goest up,
and be gathered unto thy people; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and was
gathered unto his people: |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:51 |
|
Because ye trespassed against me among the children
of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye
sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| Deuteronomy 32:52 |
|
Yet thou shalt see the land before thee; but
thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel. |
| |
