Deuteronomy 32:9-12

For the LORD'S
<03068>

portion
<02506>

[is] his people
<05971>_;

Jacob
<03290>

[is] the lot
<02256>

of his inheritance
<05159>_.

{lot: Heb. cord}

He found
<04672> (8799)

him in a desert
<04057>

land
<0776>_,

and in the waste
<08414>

howling
<03214>

wilderness
<03452>_;

he led him about
<05437> (8779)_,

he instructed
<0995> (8787)

him, he kept
<05341> (8799)

him as the apple
<0380>

of his eye
<05869>_.

{led: or, compassed}

As an eagle
<05404>

stirreth up
<05782> (8686)

her nest
<07064>_,

fluttereth
<07363> (8762)

over her young
<01469>_,

spreadeth abroad
<06566> (8799)

her wings
<03671>_,

taketh
<03947> (8799)

them, beareth
<05375> (8799)

them on her wings
<084>_:

[So] the LORD
<03068>

alone
<0910>

did lead
<05148> (8686)

him, and [there was] no strange
<05236>

god
<0410>

with him.
