Deuteronomy 32

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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 distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass.

3 Because I will proclaim 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 show 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 cows 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 hast waxed fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness. Then he forsook God who 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 begot 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 who 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 burned 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, unless 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 recompense; 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 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 ate 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 besides 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 spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua 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 the Jordan to possess it."

48 And the LORD spoke 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 opposite Jericho, and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession.

50 And die on the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother died on 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."

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Listen, heaven, and I will speak. Earth, hear the words from my mouth.

2 Let my teachings come down like raindrops. Let my words drip like dew, like gentle rain on grass, like showers on green plants.

3 I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Give our God the greatness he deserves!

4 He is a rock. What he does is perfect. All his ways are fair. He is a faithful God, who does no wrong. He is honorable and reliable.

5 He recognizes that his people are corrupt. To their shame they are no longer his children. They are devious and scheming.

6 Is this how you repay the LORD, you foolish and silly people? Isn't he your Father and Owner, who made you and formed you?

7 Remember a time long ago. Think about all the past generations. Ask your fathers to remind you, and your leaders to tell you.

8 When the Most High gave nations their land, when he divided the descendants of Adam, he set up borders for the tribes corresponding to the number of the sons of Israel.

9 But the LORD's people were his property. Jacob was his own possession.

10 He found his people in a desert land, in a barren place where animals howl. He guarded them, took care of them, and protected them because they were helpless.

11 Like an eagle that stirs up its nest, hovers over its young, spreads its wings to catch them, and carries them on its feathers,

12 so the LORD alone led his people. No foreign god was with him.

13 He made them ride on the heights of the earth and fed them with the produce of the fields. He gave them honey from rocks and olive oil from solid rock.

14 They ate cheese from cows and drank milk from sheep and goats. He gave them fat from lambs, rams from the stock of Bashan, male goats, and the best wheat. They drank the blood-red wine of grapes.

15 Jeshurun got fat and disrespectful. (You got fat! You were stuffed! You were gorged!) They abandoned the God who made them and treated the rock of their salvation like a fool.

16 They made him furious because they worshiped foreign gods and angered him because they worshiped worthless idols.

17 They sacrificed to demons that are not God, to gods they never heard of. These were new gods, who came from nearby, gods your ancestors never worshiped.

18 (You ignored the rock who fathered you and forgot the God who gave you life.)

19 The LORD saw this and rejected them, because his own sons and daughters had made him angry.

20 He said, "I will turn away from them and find out what will happen to them. They are devious people, children who can't be trusted.

21 They made him furious because they worshiped foreign gods and angered him because they worshiped worthless idols. So I will use those who are not my people to make them jealous and a nation of godless fools to make them angry.

22 My anger has started a fire that will burn to the depths of hell. It will consume the earth and its crops and set the foundations of the mountains on fire.

23 I will bring one disaster after another on them. I will use up all my arrows on them.

24 They will be starved by famines and ravaged by pestilence and deadly epidemics. I will send vicious animals against them along with poisonous animals that crawl on the ground.

25 Foreign wars will kill off their children, and even at home there will be horrors. Young men and young women alike will die as well as nursing babies and gray-haired men.

26 I said that I would cut them in pieces and erase everyone's memory of them.

27 But I didn't want their enemies to make me angry. I didn't want their opponents to misunderstand and say, 'We won this victory! It wasn't the LORD who did all this!'"

28 My people have lost their good sense. They are not able to understand.

29 If only they were wise enough to understand this and realize what will happen to them!

30 How could one person chase a thousand or two people make ten thousand flee? Their rock used these people to defeat them and the LORD gave them no help.

31 Their rock isn't like our rock. Even our enemies will agree with this.

32 Their grapevines come from the vineyards of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous, and their clusters are bitter.

33 Their wine is snake venom, the deadly poison of cobras.

34 Isn't this what I've stored under lock and key in my storehouses?

35 I will take revenge and be satisfied. In due time their foot will slip, because their day of disaster is near. Their doom is coming quickly.

36 The LORD will judge his people and have compassion on his servants when he sees that their strength is gone and that no one is left, neither slaves nor free people.

37 Then he will ask, "Where are their gods? Where is the rock they took refuge in?

38 Where are the gods who ate the fat from their sacrifices and drank the wine from their wine offerings? Let them come to help you! Let them be your refuge!"

39 See, I am the only God. There are no others. I kill, and I make alive. I wound, and I heal, and no one can rescue you from my power.

40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly swear: As surely as I live forever,

41 I will sharpen my flashing sword and take justice into my own hands. Then I will take revenge on my enemies and pay back those who hate me.

42 My arrows will drip with blood from those who were killed and taken captive. My sword will cut off the heads of the enemy who vowed to fight.

43 Joyfully sing with the LORD's people, you nations, because he will take revenge for the death of his servants. He will get even with his enemies and make peace for his people's land.

44 Moses came with Hoshea, son of Nun, and recited all the words of this song as the people listened.

45 When Moses had finished reciting all these words to Israel,

46 he said to them, "Pay attention to all these warnings I've given you today. Then you will command your children to faithfully obey every word of these teachings.

47 Don't think these words are idle talk. They are your life! By these words you will be able to live for a long time in the land that you are going to take possession of when you cross the Jordan River."

48 That same day the LORD said to Moses,

49 "Go into the Abarim Mountains, to Mount Nebo in Moab, across from Jericho. Take a look at the land of Canaan that I'm giving the Israelites as their own property.

50 On this mountain where you're going, you will die and join your ancestors in death, as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor.

51 This is because both of you were unfaithful to me at the oasis of Meribah at Kadesh in the Desert of Zin. You didn't show the Israelites how holy I am.

52 You may see the land from a distance, but you may not enter the land I'm giving the Israelites."
