Deuteronomy 32:1-9 ▼

1 Listen, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

2 My teaching will drop like the rain, my sayings will drip like the dew, as rain drops upon the grass, and showers upon new growth.

3 For I will proclaim the name of the LORD; you must acknowledge the greatness of our God.

4 As for the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. He is a reliable God who is never unjust, he is fair and upright.

5 His people have been unfaithful to him; they have not acted like his children--this is their sin. They are a perverse and deceitful generation.

6 Is this how you repay the LORD, you foolish, unwise people? Is he not your father, your creator? He has made you and established you.

7 Remember the ancient days; bear in mind the years of past generations. Ask your father and he will inform you, your elders, and they will tell you.

8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided up humankind, he set the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the heavenly assembly.

9 For the LORD's allotment is his people, Jacob is his special possession.
