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}

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}

For I will proclaim{H7121} the name{H8034} of Jehovah:{H3068} Ascribe{H3051} ye greatness{H1433} unto our God.{H430}

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{H3477} is he.

They have dealt corruptly{H7843} with him, [they]{H3971} [are] not his children,{H1121} [it is] their blemish; [They are] a perverse{H6141} and crooked{H6618} generation.{H1755}

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? He hath made{H6213} thee, and established{H3559} thee.

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; Thine elders,{H2205} and they will tell{H559} thee.

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}

For Jehovah's{H3068} portion{H2506} is his people;{H5971} Jacob{H3290} is the lot{H2256} of his inheritance.{H5159}

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, He kept{H5341} him as the apple{H380} of his eye.{H5869}

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, He bare{H5375} them on his pinions.{H84}

Jehovah{H3068} alone{H910} did lead{H5148} him, And there was no foreign{H5236} god{H410} with him.

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}

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{H8354} wine.

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, And lightly esteemed{H5034} the Rock{H6697} of his salvation.{H3444}

They moved him to jealousy{H7065} with strange{H2114} [gods]; With abominations{H8441} provoked they him to anger.{H3707}

They sacrificed{H2076} unto demons,{H7700} [which were] no God,{H433} To gods{H433} that they knew{H3045} not, To new{H2319} [gods] that came{H935} up{H935} of late,{H7138} Which your fathers{H1} dreaded{H8175} not.

Of the Rock{H6697} that begat{H3205} thee thou art unmindful,{H7876} And hast forgotten{H7911} God{H410} that gave thee birth.{H2342}

And Jehovah{H3068} saw{H7200} [it], and abhorred{H5006} [them], Because of the provocation{H3708} of his sons{H1121} and his daughters.{H1323}

And he said,{H559} I will hide{H5641} my face{H6440} from them, I will see{H7200} what their end{H319} shall be: For they are a very perverse{H8419} generation,{H1755} Children{H1121} in whom is no faithfulness.{H529}

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}

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}

I will heap{H5595} evils{H7451} upon them; I will spend{H3615} mine arrows{H2671} upon them:

[ 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, With the poison{H2534} of crawling{H2119} things of the dust.{H6083}

[Without]{H2351} [shall the sword]{H2719} [bereave, And in the chambers]{H2315} [terror;]{H367} [It shall destroy]{H7921} both young man{H970} and virgin,{H1330} The suckling{H3243} with the man{H376} of gray hairs.{H7872}

I said,{H559} I would scatter them afar,{H6284} I would make the remembrance{H2143} of them to cease{H7673} from among men;{H582}

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{H6466} all this.

For they are a nation{H1471} void{H6} of counsel,{H6098} And there is no understanding{H8394} in them.

Oh that{H3863} they were wise,{H2449} that they understood{H7919} this, That they would consider{H995} their latter end!{H319}

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}

For their rock{H6697} is not as our Rock,{H6697} Even our enemies{H341} themselves being judges.{H6414}

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}

Their wine{H3196} is the poison{H2534} of serpents,{H8577} And the cruel{H393} venom{H7219} of asps.{H6620}

Is not this laid up in store{H3647} with me, Sealed up{H2856} among my treasures?{H214}

Vengeance{H5359} is mine, and recompense,{H8005} 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}

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], shut up{H6113} or left{H5800} at large.

And he will say,{H559} Where are their gods,{H430} The rock{H6697} in which they took refuge;{H2620}

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, Let them be your protection.{H5643}

See{H7200} now that I, even I, am he, And there is no god{H430} with me: I kill,{H4191} 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}

For I lift up{H5375} my hand{H3027} to heaven,{H8064} And say,{H559} As I live{H2416} for ever,{H5769}

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{H8130} me.

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}

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}

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, and Hoshea{H1954} the son{H1121} of Nun.{H5126}

And Moses{H4872} made an end{H3615} of speaking{H1696} all these words{H1697} to all Israel;{H3478}

And he said{H559} unto them, Set{H7760} 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}

For it is no vain{H7386} thing{H1697} for you; because it is your life,{H2416} 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{H3423} it.

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses{H4872} that selfsame{H6106} day,{H3117} saying,{H559}

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}

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}

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}

For thou shalt see{H7200} the land{H776} before thee; but thou shalt not go{H935} thither into the land{H776} which I give{H5414} the children{H1121} of Israel.{H3478}
