Deuteronomy 32:10-19 New English Translation (NET)

10. The Lord found him in a desolate land,in an empty wasteland where animals howl.He continually guarded him and taught him;he continually protected him like the pupil of his eye.

11. Like an eagle that stirs up its nest,that hovers over its young,so the Lord spread out his wings and took him,he lifted him up on his pinions.

12. The Lord alone was guiding him,no foreign god was with him.

13. He enabled him to travel over the high terrain of the land,and he ate of the produce of the fields.He provided honey for him from the cliffs,and olive oil from the hardest of rocks,

14. butter from the herdand milk from the flock,along with the fat of lambs,rams and goats of Bashan,along with the best of the kernels of wheat;and from the juice of grapes you drank wine.

15. But Jeshurun became fat and kicked,you got fat, thick, and stuffed!Then he deserted the God who made him,and treated the Rock who saved him with contempt.

16. They made him jealous with other gods,they enraged him with abhorrent idols.

17. They sacrificed to demons, not God,to gods they had not known;to new gods who had recently come along,gods your ancestors had not known about.

18. You have forgotten the Rock who fathered you,and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.

19. But the Lord took note and despised thembecause his sons and daughters enraged him.
