Deuteronomy 32:48 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 "Listen, O heavens, and I will speak! Hear, O earth, the words that I say!
2 Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants.
3 I will proclaim the name of the LORD; how glorious is our God!
4 He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is!
5 "But they have acted corruptly toward him; when they act so perversely, are they really his children? They are a deceitful and twisted generation.
6 Is this the way you repay the LORD, you foolish and senseless people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Has he not made you and established you?
7 Remember the days of long ago; think about the generations past. Ask your father, and he will inform you. Inquire of your elders, and they will tell you.
8 When the Most High assigned lands to the nations, when he divided up the human race, he established the boundaries of the peoples according to the number in his heavenly court.
9 "For the people of Israel belong to the LORD; Jacob is his special possession.
10 He found them in a desert land, in an empty, howling wasteland. He surrounded them and watched over them; he guarded them as he would guard his own eyes.
11 Like an eagle that rouses her chicks and hovers over her young, so he spread his wings to take them up and carried them safely on his pinions.
12 The LORD alone guided them; they followed no foreign gods.
13 He let them ride over the highlands and feast on the crops of the fields. He nourished them with honey from the rock and olive oil from the stony ground.
14 He fed them yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, together with the fat of lambs. He gave them choice rams from Bashan, and goats, together with the choicest wheat. You drank the finest wine, made from the juice of grapes.
15 "But Israel soon became fat and unruly; the people grew heavy, plump, and stuffed! Then they abandoned the God who had made them; they made light of the Rock of their salvation.
16 They stirred up his jealousy by worshiping foreign gods; they provoked his fury with detestable deeds.
17 They offered sacrifices to demons, which are not God, to gods they had not known before, to new gods only recently arrived, to gods their ancestors had never feared.
18 You neglected the Rock who had fathered you; you forgot the God who had given you birth.
19 "The LORD saw this and drew back, provoked to anger by his own sons and daughters.
20 He said, 'I will abandon them; then see what becomes of them. For they are a twisted generation, children without integrity.
21 They have roused my jealousy by worshiping things that are not God; they have provoked my anger with their useless idols. Now I will rouse their jealousy through people who are not even a people; I will provoke their anger through the foolish Gentiles.
22 For my anger blazes forth like fire and burns to the depths of the grave. It devours the earth and all its crops and ignites the foundations of the mountains.
23 I will heap disasters upon them and shoot them down with my arrows.
24 I will weaken them with famine, burning fever, and deadly disease. I will send the fangs of wild beasts and poisonous snakes that glide in the dust.
25 Outside, the sword will bring death, and inside, terror will strike both young men and young women, both infants and the aged.
26 I would have annihilated them, wiping out even the memory of them.
27 But I feared the taunt of Israel's enemy, who might misunderstand and say, "Our own power has triumphed! The LORD had nothing to do with this!"'
28 "But Israel is a senseless nation; the people are foolish, without understanding.
29 Oh, that they were wise and could understand this! Oh, that they might know their fate!
30 How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 But the rock of our enemies is not like our Rock, as even they recognize.
32 Their vine grows from the vine of Sodom, from the vineyards of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poison, and their clusters are bitter.
33 Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 "The LORD says, 'Am I not storing up these things, sealing them away in my treasury?
35 I will take revenge; I will pay them back. In due time their feet will slip. Their day of disaster will arrive, and their destiny will overtake them.'
36 "Indeed, the LORD will give justice to his people, and he will change his mind about his servants, when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free.
37 Then he will ask, 'Where are their gods, the rocks they fled to for refuge?
38 Where now are those gods, who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their offerings? Let those gods arise and help you! Let them provide you with shelter!
39 Look now; I myself am he! There is no other god but me! I am the one who kills and gives life; I am the one who wounds and heals; no one can be rescued from my powerful hand!
40 Now I raise my hand to heaven and declare, "As surely as I live,
41 when I sharpen my flashing sword and begin to carry out justice, I will take revenge on my enemies and repay those who reject me.
42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh-- the blood of the slaughtered and the captives, and the heads of the enemy leaders."'
43 "Rejoice with him, you heavens, and let all of God's angels worship him. Rejoice with his people, you nations, and let all the angels be strengthened in him. For he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take revenge against his enemies. He will repay those who hate him and cleanse the land for his people."
44 So Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song to the people.
45 When Moses had finished reciting all these words to the people of Israel,
46 he added: "Take to heart all the words of warning I have given you today. Pass them on as a command to your children so they will obey every word of these instructions.
47 These instructions are not empty words-- they are your life! By obeying them you will enjoy a long life in the land you will occupy when you cross the Jordan River."
48 That same day the LORD said to Moses,
49 "Go to Moab, to the mountains east of the river, and climb Mount Nebo, which is across from Jericho. Look out across the land of Canaan, the land I am giving to the people of Israel as their own special possession.
50 Then you will die there on the mountain. You will join your ancestors, just as Aaron, your brother, died on Mount Hor and joined his ancestors.
51 For both of you betrayed me with the Israelites at the waters of Meribah at Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. You failed to demonstrate my holiness to the people of Israel there.
52 So you will see the land from a distance, but you may not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel."
1 Give ear, H238 O ye heavens, H8064 and I will speak; H1696 and hear, H8085 O earth, H776 the words H561 of my mouth. H6310
2 My doctrine H3948 shall drop H6201 as the rain, H4306 my speech H565 shall distill H5140 as the dew, H2919 as the small rain H8164 upon H5921 the tender herb, H1877 and as the showers H7241 upon H5921 the grass: H6212
3 Because H3588 I will publish H7121 the name H8034 of the LORD: H3068 ascribe H3051 ye greatness H1433 unto our God. H430
4 He is the Rock, H6697 his work H6467 is perfect: H8549 for H3588 all H3605 his ways H1870 are judgment: H4941 a God H410 of truth H530 and without H369 iniquity, H5766 just H6662 and right H3477 is he. H1931
5 They have corrupted H7843 themselves , their spot H3971 is not H3808 the spot of his children: H1121 they are a perverse H6141 and crooked H6618 generation. H1755
6 Do ye thus H2063 requite H1580 the LORD, H3068 O foolish H5036 people H5971 and unwise H3808 H2450 ? is not H3808 he H1931 thy father H1 that hath bought H7069 thee? hath he H1931 not made H6213 thee , and established H3559 thee?
7 Remember H2142 the days H3117 of old, H5769 consider H995 the years H8141 of many generations H1755 H1755 : ask H7592 thy father, H1 and he will show H5046 thee ; thy elders, H2205 and they will tell H559 thee.
8 When the most High H5945 divided H5157 to the nations H1471 their inheritance , when he separated H6504 the sons H1121 of Adam, H120 he set H5324 the bounds H1367 of the people H5971 according to the number H4557 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
9 For H3588 the LORD's H3068 portion H2506 is his people; H5971 Jacob H3290 is the lot H2256 of his inheritance. H5159
10 He found H4672 him in a desert H4057 land, H776 and in the waste H8414 howling H3214 wilderness; H3452 he led him about, H5437 he instructed H995 him , he kept H5341 him as the apple H380 of his eye. H5869
11 As an eagle H5404 stirreth up H5782 her nest, H7064 fluttereth H7363 over H5921 her young, H1469 spreadeth abroad H6566 her wings, H3671 taketh H3947 them, beareth H5375 them on H5921 her wings: H84
12 So the LORD H3068 alone H910 did lead H5148 him , and there was no H369 strange H5236 god H410 with H5973 him.
13 He made him ride H7392 on H5921 the high places H1116 of the earth, H776 that he might eat H398 the increase H8570 of the fields; H7704 and he made him to suck H3243 honey H1706 out of the rock H4480 H5553 , and oil H8081 out of the flinty H4480 H2496 rock; H6697
14 Butter H2529 of kine, H1241 and milk H2461 of sheep, H6629 with H5973 fat H2459 of lambs, H3733 and rams H352 of the breed H1121 of Bashan, H1316 and goats, H6260 with H5973 the fat H2459 of kidneys H3629 of wheat; H2406 and thou didst drink H8354 the pure H2561 blood H1818 of the grape. H6025
15 But Jeshurun H3484 waxed fat, H8080 and kicked: H1163 thou art waxen fat, H8080 thou art grown thick, H5666 thou art covered H3780 with fatness ; then he forsook H5203 God H433 which made H6213 him , and lightly esteemed H5034 the Rock H6697 of his salvation. H3444
16 They provoked him to jealousy H7065 with strange H2114 gods , with abominations H8441 provoked they him to anger. H3707
17 They sacrificed H2076 unto devils, H7700 not H3808 to God; H433 to gods H430 whom they knew H3045 not, H3808 to new H2319 gods that came H935 newly up H4480 H7138 , whom your fathers H1 feared H8175 not. H3808
18 Of the Rock H6697 that begot H3205 thee thou art unmindful, H7876 and hast forgotten H7911 God H410 that formed H2342 thee.
19 And when the LORD H3068 saw H7200 it , he abhorred H5006 them , because of the provoking H4480 H3708 of his sons, H1121 and of his daughters. H1323
20 And he said, H559 I will hide H5641 my face H6440 from H4480 them , I will see H7200 what H4100 their end H319 shall be : for H3588 they H1992 are a very froward H8419 generation, H1755 children H1121 in whom is no H3808 faith. H529
21 They H1992 have moved me to jealousy H7065 with that which is not H3808 God; H410 they have provoked me to anger H3707 with their vanities: H1892 and I H589 will move them to jealousy H7065 with those which are not H3808 a people; H5971 I will provoke them to anger H3707 with a foolish H5036 nation. H1471
22 For H3588 a fire H784 is kindled H6919 in mine anger, H639 and shall burn H3344 unto H5704 the lowest H8482 hell, H7585 and shall consume H398 the earth H776 with her increase, H2981 and set on fire H3857 the foundations H4146 of the mountains. H2022
23 I will heap H5595 mischiefs H7451 upon H5921 them ; I will spend H3615 mine arrows H2671 upon them.
24 They shall be burnt H4198 with hunger, H7458 and devoured H3898 with burning heat, H7565 and with bitter H4815 destruction: H6986 I will also send H7971 the teeth H8127 of beasts H929 upon them, with H5973 the poison H2534 of serpents H2119 of the dust. H6083
25 The sword H2719 without H4480 H2351 , and terror H367 within H4480 H2315 , shall destroy H7921 both H1571 the young man H970 and H1571 the virgin, H1330 the suckling H3243 also with H5973 the man H376 of gray hairs. H7872
26 I said, H559 I would scatter them into corners, H6284 I would make the remembrance H2143 of them to cease H7673 from among men H4480 H376 :
27 Were it not that H3884 I feared H1481 the wrath H3708 of the enemy, H341 lest H6435 their adversaries H6862 should behave themselves strangely, H5234 and lest H6435 they should say, H559 Our hand H3027 is high, H7311 and the LORD H3068 hath not H3808 done H6466 all H3605 this. H2063
28 For H3588 they H1992 are a nation H1471 void H6 of counsel, H6098 neither H369 is there any understanding H8394 in them.
29 O that H3863 they were wise, H2449 that they understood H7919 this, H2063 that they would consider H995 their latter end H319 !
30 How H349 should one H259 chase H7291 a thousand, H505 and two H8147 put H5127 ten thousand H7233 to flight, H5127 except H518 H3808 H3588 their Rock H6697 had sold H4376 them , and the LORD H3068 had shut them up H5462 ?
31 For H3588 their rock H6697 is not H3808 as our Rock, H6697 even our enemies H341 themselves being judges. H6414
32 For H3588 their vine H1612 is of the vine H4480 H1612 of Sodom, H5467 and of the fields H4480 H7709 of Gomorrah: H6017 their grapes H6025 are grapes H6025 of gall, H7219 their clusters H811 are bitter: H4846
33 Their wine H3196 is the poison H2534 of dragons, H8577 and the cruel H393 venom H7219 of asps. H6620
34 Is not H3808 this H1931 laid up in store H3647 with H5978 me and sealed up H2856 among my treasures H214 ?
35 To me belongeth vengeance, H5359 and recompense; H8005 their foot H7272 shall slide H4131 in due time: H6256 for H3588 the day H3117 of their calamity H343 is at hand, H7138 and the things that shall come H6264 upon them make haste. H2363
36 For H3588 the LORD H3068 shall judge H1777 his people, H5971 and repent himself H5162 for H5921 his servants, H5650 when H3588 he seeth H7200 that H3588 their power H3027 is gone, H235 and there is none H657 shut up, H6113 or left. H5800
37 And he shall say, H559 Where H335 are their gods, H430 their rock H6697 in whom they trusted, H2620
38 Which H834 did eat H398 the fat H2459 of their sacrifices, H2077 and drank H8354 the wine H3196 of their drink offerings H5257 ? let them rise up H6965 and help H5826 you, and be H1961 H5921 your protection. H5643
39 See H7200 now H6258 that H3588 I, H589 even I, H589 am he, H1931 and there is no H369 god H430 with H5978 me: I H589 kill, H4191 and I make alive; H2421 I wound, H4272 and I H589 heal: H7495 neither H369 is there any that can deliver H5337 out of my hand H4480 H3027 .
40 For H3588 I lift up H5375 my hand H3027 to H413 heaven, H8064 and say, H559 I H595 live H2416 forever. H5769
41 If H518 I whet H8150 my glittering H1300 sword, H2719 and mine hand H3027 take hold H270 on judgment; H4941 I will render H7725 vengeance H5359 to mine enemies, H6862 and will reward H7999 them that hate H8130 me.
42 I will make mine arrows H2671 drunk H7937 with blood H4480 H1818 , and my sword H2719 shall devour H398 flesh; H1320 and that with the blood H4480 H1818 of the slain H2491 and of the captives, H7633 from the beginning H4480 H7218 of revenges H6546 upon the enemy. H341
43 Rejoice H7442 , O ye nations, H1471 with his people: H5971 for H3588 he will avenge H5358 the blood H1818 of his servants, H5650 and will render H7725 vengeance H5359 to his adversaries, H6862 and will be merciful H3722 unto his land, H127 and to his people. H5971
44 And Moses H4872 came H935 and spoke H1696 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 song H7892 in the ears H241 of the people, H5971 he, H1931 and Hoshea H1954 the son H1121 of Nun. H5126
45 And Moses H4872 made an end H3615 of speaking H1696 H853 all H3605 these H428 words H1697 to H413 all H3605 Israel: H3478
46 And he said H559 unto H413 them, Set H7760 your hearts H3824 unto all H3605 the words H1697 which H834 I H595 testify H5749 among you this day, H3117 which H834 ye shall command H6680 H853 your children H1121 to observe H8104 to do, H6213 H853 all H3605 the words H1697 of this H2063 law. H8451
47 For H3588 it H1931 is not H3808 a vain H7386 thing H1697 for H4480 you; because H3588 it H1931 is your life: H2416 and through this H2088 thing H1697 ye shall prolong H748 your days H3117 in H5921 the land, H127 whither H834 H8033 ye H859 go over H5674 H853 Jordan H3383 to possess H3423 it.
48 And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 that H2088 selfsame H6106 day, H3117 saying, H559
49 Get thee up H5927 into H413 this H2088 mountain H2022 Abarim, H5682 unto mount H2022 Nebo, H5015 which H834 is in the land H776 of Moab, H4124 that H834 is over H5921 against H6440 Jericho; H3405 and behold H7200 H853 the land H776 of Canaan, H3667 which H834 I H589 give H5414 unto the children H1121 of Israel H3478 for a possession: H272
50 And die H4191 in the mount H2022 whither H834 H8033 thou H859 goest up, H5927 and be gathered H622 unto H413 thy people; H5971 as H834 Aaron H175 thy brother H251 died H4191 in mount H2022 Hor, H2023 and was gathered H622 unto H413 his people: H5971
51 Because H5921 H834 ye trespassed H4603 against me among H8432 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 at the waters H4325 of Meribah H4809 H6946 -Kadesh , in the wilderness H4057 of Zin; H6790 because H5921 H834 ye sanctified H6942 me not H3808 in the midst H8432 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
52 Yet H3588 thou shalt see H7200 H853 the land H776 before H4480 H5048 thee ; but thou shalt not H3808 go H935 thither H8033 unto H413 the land H776 which H834 I H589 give H5414 the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
