> 32:1
Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the
words of my mouth. 32:2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech
shall distil as the dew; as the small rain upon the tender grass, and
as the showers upon the herb. 32:3 For I will proclaim the name of
the LORD; ascribe ye greatness unto our God. 32:4 The Rock, His work
is perfect; for all His ways are justice; a God of faithfulness and
without iniquity, just and right is He. 32:5 Is corruption His? No;
His children's is the blemish; a generation crooked and perverse.
32:6 Do ye thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not
He thy father that hath gotten thee? hath He not made thee, and
established thee? 32:7 Remember the days of old, consider the years
of many generations; ask thy father, and he will declare unto thee,
thine elders, and they will tell thee. 32:8 When the Most High gave
to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of
men, He set the borders of the peoples according to the number of the
children of Israel. 32:9 For the portion of the LORD is His people,
Jacob the lot of His inheritance. 32:10 He found him in a desert
land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness; He compassed him about,
He cared for him, He kept him as the apple of His eye. 32:11 As an
eagle that stirreth up her nest, hovereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her pinions-- 32:12
The LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with Him.
32:13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, and he did
eat the fruitage of the field; and He made him to suck honey out of
the crag, and oil out of the flinty rock; 32:14 Curd of kine, and
milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan,
and he-goats, with the kidney-fat of wheat; and of the blood of the
grape thou drankest foaming wine. 32:15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and
kicked--thou didst wax fat, thou didst grow thick, thou didst become
gross--and he forsook God who made him, and contemned the Rock of his
salvation. 32:16 They roused Him to jealousy with strange gods, with
abominations did they provoke Him. 32:17 They sacrificed unto demons,
no-gods, gods that they knew not, new gods that came up of late,
which your fathers dreaded not. 32:18 Of the Rock that begot thee
thou wast unmindful, and didst forget God that bore thee. 32:19 And
the LORD saw, and spurned, because of the provoking of His sons and
His daughters. 32:20 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 faithfulness. 32:21 They have
roused Me to jealousy with a no-god; they have provoked Me with their
vanities; and I will rouse them to jealousy with a no-people; I will
provoke them with a vile nation. 32:22 For a fire is kindled in My
nostril, and burneth unto the depths of the nether-world, and
devoureth the earth with her produce, and setteth ablaze the
foundations of the mountains. 32:23 I will heap evils upon them; I
will spend Mine arrows upon them; 32:24 The wasting of hunger, and
the devouring of the fiery bolt, and bitter destruction; and the
teeth of beasts will I send upon them, with the venom of crawling
things of the dust. 32:25 Without shall the sword bereave, and in the
chambers terror; slaying both young man and virgin, the suckling with
the man of gray hairs. 32:26 I thought I would make an end of them, I
would make their memory cease from among men; 32:27 Were it not that
I dreaded the enemy's provocation, lest their adversaries should
misdeem, lest they should say: Our hand is exalted, and not the LORD
hath wrought all this.' 32:28 For they are a nation void of counsel,
and there is no understanding in them. 32:29 If they were wise, they
would understand this, they would discern their latter end. 32:30 How
should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight,
except their Rock had given them over and the LORD had delivered them
up? 32:31 For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies
themselves being judges. 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; 32:33 Their wine is the venom of
serpents, and the cruel poison of asps. 32:34 'Is not this laid up in
store with Me, sealed up in My treasuries? 32:35 Vengeance is Mine,
and recompense, against the time when their foot shall slip; for the
day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that are to come
upon them shall make haste. 32:36 For the LORD will judge His people,
and repent Himself for His servants; when He seeth that their stay is
gone, and there is none remaining, shut up or left at large. 32:37
And it is said: Where are their gods, the rock in whom they trusted;
32:38 Who did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of
their drink-offering? let him rise up and help you, let him be your
protection. 32:39 See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no god
with Me; I kill, and I make alive; I have wounded, and I heal; and
there is none that can deliver out of My hand. 32:40 For I lift up My
hand to heaven, and say: As I live for ever, 32:41 If I whet My
glittering sword, and My hand take hold on judgment; I will render
vengeance to Mine adversaries, and will recompense them that hate Me.
32:42 I will make Mine arrows drunk with blood, and My sword shall
devour flesh; with the blood of the slain and the captives, from the
long-haired heads of the enemy.' 32:43 Sing aloud, O ye nations, of
His people; for He doth avenge the blood of His servants, and doth
render vengeance to His adversaries, and doth make expiation for the
land of His people. |
