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 wasteland of the howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11. As an eagle stirs up its nest, flutters over its young, spreads abroad its wings, takes them, bears them on its 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. Curds of the cattle, and milk of the flock, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the finest of the wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.
15. But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked: you are grown fat, you are grown thick, you are 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 they provoked him to anger.
17. They sacrificed unto demons, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came in of late, whom your fathers feared not.
18. Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
