05:032:001 Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth,
the words of my mouth.
05:032:002 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:
05:032:003 Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye
greatness unto our God.
05:032:004 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are
judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
05:032:005 They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot
of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
05:032:006 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is
not he thy father that hath bought thee? hath he not made thee, and
established thee?
05:032:007 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.
05:032:008 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people
according to the number of the children of Israel.
05:032:009 For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of
his inheritance.
05:032:010 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the
apple of his eye.
05:032:011 As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young,
spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings:
05:032:012 So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god
with him.
05:032:013 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;
05:032:014 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.
05:032:015 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: thou art 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.
05:032:016 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with
abominations provoked they him to anger.
05:032:017 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they
knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
05:032:018 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast
forgotten God that formed thee.
05:032:019 And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the
provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
05:032:020 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what
their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in
whom is no faith.
