Deut. 32:15‑44• 15{i}Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked{HR}—Thou art waxen fat,{HR}Thou art grown thick,{HR}And thou art covered with fatness;{HR}—He gave up God who made him,{HR}And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.{HR}{/i}
16{i}They moved him to jealousy with strange gods,{HR}With abominations did they provoke him to anger.{HR}{/i}
17{i}They sacrificed unto demons who are not God;{/i}{HR}To gods whom they knew not,{HR}To new gods that came newly up,{HR}Whom your fathers feared not.
18Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful,{HR}And hast forgotten God that formed thee.
19{i}And Jehovah saw it, and despised them,{HR}Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.{HR}{/i}
20{i}And he said, I will hide my face from them,{HR}I will see what their end shall be;{HR}For they are a perverse generation,{HR}Children in whom is no faithfulness.{HR}{/i}
21{i}They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no God;{HR}They have exasperated me with their vanities;{HR}And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people;{HR}With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.{HR}{/i}
22{i}For a fire is kindled in mine anger,{HR}And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol,{HR}And shall consume the earth and its produce,{HR}And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.{HR}{/i}
23{i}I will heap mischiefs upon them;{HR}Mine arrows will I spend against them.{HR}{/i}
24{i}They shall be consumed with hunger,{HR}And devoured with burning heat,{HR}And with poisonous pestilence;{HR}And the teeth of beasts will I send against them,{HR}With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.{HR}{/i}
25{i}From without shall the sword bereave them,{HR}And in the chambers, terror{HR}—Both the young man and the virgin,{HR}The suckling with the man of gray hairs.{HR}{/i}
26{i}I would say, I will scatter,{HR}I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,{HR}{/i}
27{i}If I did not fear provocation from the enemy,{HR}Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it,{HR}Lest they should say, Our hand is high,{HR}And Jehovah has not done all this.{HR}{/i}
28{i}For they are a nation void of counsel,{HR}And understanding is not in them.{HR}{/i}
29{i}Oh that they had been wise!{HR}They would have understood this;{HR}They would have considered their latter end!{HR}{/i}
30{i}How could one chase a thousand,{HR}And two put ten thousand to flight,{HR}Were it not that their Rock had sold them,{HR}And Jehovah had delivered them up?{HR}{/i}
31{i}For their rock is not as our Rock:{HR}Let our enemies themselves be judges.{HR}{/i}
32{i}For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,{HR}And of the fields of Gomorrah:{HR}Their grapes are grapes of poison,{HR}Bitter are their clusters;{HR}{/i}
33{i}Their wine is the poison of dragons,{HR}And the cruel venom of vipers.{HR}{/i}
34{i}Is not this hidden with me,{HR}Sealed up among my treasures?{HR}{/i}
35{i}Vengeance is mine, and recompense,{HR}For the time when their foot shall slip.{HR}For the day of their calamity is at hand,{HR}And the things that shall come upon them make haste.{HR}{/i}
36For Jehovah shall judge his people,{HR}And repent himself for his servants,{HR}When he seeth that their power is gone,{HR}And there is none shut up or left.
37And he shall say, Where are their gods,{HR}Their rock in whom they trusted,
38Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices,{HR}And drank the wine of their drink-offerings?{HR}Let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39See now that I, even I, am he,{HR}And there is no god with me:{HR}I kill, and I make alive;{HR}I wound, and I heal:{HR}Neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40For I lift up my hand to heaven,{HR}And say, I live forever.
41If I whet my glittering sword,{HR}And mine hand take hold on judgment;{HR}I will render vengeance to mine enemies,{HR}And will reward them that hate me.
42I will make mine arrows drunk with blood,{HR}And my sword shall devour flesh;{HR}And that with the blood of the slain and of the captives,{HR}From the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.
43Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people:{HR}For he will avenge the blood of his servants,{HR}And will render vengeance to his adversaries,{HR}And will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.
44{i}And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.{/i} (Deut. 32:15‑44)
