5. They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: --A crooked and perverted generation!
6. Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? 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 generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.
8. When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.
9. For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.
10. He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.
11. As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,
12. So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange god was with him.
13. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;
14. Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.
15. Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked--Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; --He gave up +God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16. They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.
17. They sacrificed unto demons who are not +God To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.
18. Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten ·God who brought thee forth.
