Deuteronomy 32
[1] Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of
my mouth.
[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: [3]
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.
[4] 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. [5] They have corrupted
themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse
and crooked generation. [6] 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? [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. [8] 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.
[9] For the LORD's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
[10] 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. [11] As
an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her
wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: [12] So the LORD alone did lead
him, and there was no strange god with him. [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;
[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.
[15] 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. [16] They provoked him to jealousy
with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
[17] 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. [18] Of the Rock
that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
[19] And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of
his sons, and of his daughters.
[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 faith.
[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.
[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.
[23] I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. [24]
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured 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. [25] The sword without, and terror within,
shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the
man of gray hairs. [26] I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would
make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
[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. [28] For they are a nation void of
counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
[29] O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would
consider their latter end!
[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? [31] For their
rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
[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: [33] Their wine is
the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. [34] Is not this laid up
in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? [35] To me belongeth
vengeance, and recompence; their 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.
[36] For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants,
when he seeth that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
[37] And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
[38] Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their
drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection. [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.
[40] For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever. [41] If I whet
my glittering sword, and mine hand take hold on judgment; I will render
vengeance to mine enemies, and will reward them that hate me. [42] 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. [43] 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. [44] And
Moses came and spake all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he,
and Hoshea the son of Nun. [45] And Moses made an end of speaking all these
words to all Israel: [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.
[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.
[48] And the LORD spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying, [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: [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:
[51] Because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the
waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye sanctified me
not in the midst of the children of Israel. [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.
Deuteronomy 33
[1] And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the
children of Israel before his death. [2] And he said, The LORD came from
Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and
he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for
them. [3] Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they
sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. [4] Moses
commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob.
[5] And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes
of Israel were gathered together.
[6] Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. [7] And this is
the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring
him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help
to him from his enemies. [8] And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim
be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou
didst strive at the waters of Meribah;
[9] Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither
did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have
observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. [10] They shall teach Jacob thy
judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole
burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. [11] Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept
the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him,
and of them that hate him, that they rise not again.
[12] And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by
him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between
his shoulders.
[13] And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious
things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath,
[14] And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the
precious things put forth by the moon, [15] And for the chief things of the
ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills,
[16] And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the
good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head
of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his
brethren.
[17] His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like
the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends
of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the
thousands of Manasseh.
[18] And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and,
Issachar, in thy tents.
[19] They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer
sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas,
and of treasures hid in the sand. [20] And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that
enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of
the head. [21] And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a
portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the
people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel.
[22] And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan.
[23] And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with
the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south. [24] And of
Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to
his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. [25] Thy shoes shall be iron
and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be.
[26] There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven
in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. [27] The eternal God is thy
refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the
enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.
[28] Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be
upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. [29] Happy
art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the
shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies
shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.
Deuteronomy 34
[1] And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to
the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all
the land of Gilead, unto Dan,
[2] And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land
of Judah, unto the utmost sea, [3] And the south, and the plain of the valley
of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
[4] And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham,
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have
caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. [5]
So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to
the word of the LORD.
[6] And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor:
but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. [7] And Moses was an
hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his
natural force abated. [8] And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the
plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were
ended. [9] And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for
Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto
him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. [10] And there arose not a prophet
since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,
[11] In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the
land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, [12]
And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in
the sight of all Israel.
