New Testament

Deuter­­onomy 32:11-25 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. Like an eagle stirs up her nest,that flutters over her young,He spread out his wings and took him;He lifted him on His pinions;

12. the Lord alone guided him,and there was no foreign god with him.

13. He made him ride on the high places of the earth,and he ate of the produce of the fields;He made him suck honey out of the rockand oil out of the flinty rock,

14. butter from the herd,and milk from the flock,along with the fat of lambs,and rams of the breed from Bashan,and goats,with the best of the kernels of wheat;you drank the pure blood of the grape.

15. But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked;you grew fat, you grew thick;you are covered with fat.Then he forsook God who made him,and devalued the Rock of his salvation.

16. They made Him jealous with strange gods;with abominations they provoked Him to anger.

17. They sacrificed to demons, not to God,to gods whom they knew not,to new gods that recently came along,whom your fathers did not fear.

18. You have forgotten the Rock who begot you;you are unmindful, and have forgotten the God who gave you birth.

19. When the Lord saw it, He despised them,because of the provocation of His sons and daughters.

20. He said: I will hide My face from them;I will see what their end will be,for they are a very perverse generation,children in whom there is no loyalty.

21. They have made Me jealous with that which is not God;they have provoked Me to anger with their empty things.And I will make them jealous of those who are not a people;I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.

22. For a fire has been inflamed by My anger,and it will burn to the lowest part of Sheol,and shall consume the earth and its produce,and ignite the foundations of the mountains.

23. I will heap misfortunes on them;I will use My arrows on them.

24. They will be starved by famine,and consumed by plague and bitter destruction;I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,with the poison of crawling creatures in the dust.

25. The sword outside and terror within will destroy both the young man and the virgin,the infant along with the man of gray hair.
