World English Bible Classic
[1] Give ear, you heavens, and I will speak.
Let the earth hear the words of my mouth.
[2] My doctrine will drop as the rain.
My speech will condense as the dew,
as the misty rain on the tender grass,
as the showers on the herb.
[3] For I will proclaim Yahweh’s name.
Ascribe greatness to our God!
[4] The Rock: his work is perfect,
for all his ways are just.
A God of faithfulness who does no wrong,
just and right is he.
[5] They have dealt corruptly with him.
They are not his children, because of their defect.
They are a perverse and crooked generation.
[6] Is this the way you repay Yahweh,
foolish and unwise people?
Isn’t he your father who has bought you?
He has made you and established you.
[7] Remember the days of old.
Consider the years of many generations.
Ask your father, and he will show you;
your elders, and they will tell you.
[8] When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,
when he separated the children of men,
he set the bounds of the peoples
according to the number of the children of Israel.
[9] For Yahweh’s portion is his people.
Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
[10] He found him in a desert land,
in the waste howling wilderness.
He surrounded him.
He cared for him.
He kept him as the apple of his eye.
[11] As an eagle that stirs up her nest,
that flutters over her young,
he spread abroad his wings,
he took them,
he bore them on his feathers.
[12] Yahweh alone led him.
There was no foreign god with him.
[13] He made him ride on the high places of the earth.
He ate the increase of the field.
He caused him to suck honey out of the rock,
oil out of the flinty rock;
[14] butter from the herd, and milk from the flock,
with fat of lambs,
rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
with the finest of the wheat.
From the blood of the grape, you drank wine.
[15] But Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked.
You have grown fat.
You have grown thick.
You have become sleek.
Then he abandoned God who made him,
and rejected the Rock of his salvation.
[16] They moved him to jealousy with strange gods.
They provoked him to anger with abominations.
[17] They sacrificed to demons, not God,
to gods that they didn’t know,
to new gods that came up recently,
which your fathers didn’t dread.
[18] Of the Rock who became your father, you are unmindful,
and have forgotten God who gave you birth.
[19] Yahweh saw and abhorred,
because of the provocation of his sons and his 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 is no faithfulness.
[21] They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God.
They have provoked me to anger with their vanities.
I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people.
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
[22] For a fire is kindled in my anger,
that burns to the lowest Sheol,
devours the earth with its increase,
and sets the foundations of the mountains on fire.
[23] “I will heap evils on them.
I will spend my arrows on them.
[24] They shall be wasted with hunger,
and devoured with burning heat
and bitter destruction.
I will send the teeth of animals on them,
with the venom of vipers that glide in the dust.
[25] Outside the sword will bereave,
and in the rooms,
terror on both young man and virgin,
the nursing infant with the gray-haired man.
[26] I said that I would scatter them afar.
I would make their memory to cease from among men;
[27] were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy,
lest their adversaries should judge wrongly,
lest they should say, ‘Our hand is exalted;
Yahweh has not done all this.’ ”
[28] For they are a nation void of counsel.
There is no understanding in them.
[29] Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end!
[30] How could one chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock had sold them,
and Yahweh had delivered them up?
[31] For their rock is not as our Rock,
even our enemies themselves concede.
[32] For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
of the fields of Gomorrah.
Their grapes are poison grapes.
Their clusters are bitter.
[33] Their wine is the poison of serpents,
the cruel venom of asps.
[34] “Isn’t this laid up in store with me,
sealed up among my treasures?
[35] Vengeance is mine, and recompense,
at the time when their foot slides,
for the day of their calamity is at hand.
Their doom rushes at them.”
[36] For Yahweh will judge his people,
and have compassion on his servants,
when he sees that their power is gone,
that there is no one remaining, shut up or left at large.
[37] He will say, “Where are their gods,
the rock in which they took refuge,
[38] which ate the fat of their sacrifices,
and drank the wine of their drink offering?
Let them rise up and help you!
Let them be your protection.
[39] “See now that I myself am he.
There is no god with me.
I kill and I make alive.
I wound and I heal.
There is no one who can deliver out of my hand.
[40] For I lift up my hand to heaven and declare,
as I live forever,
[41] if I sharpen my glittering sword,
my hand grasps it in judgment;
I will take vengeance on my adversaries,
and will repay those who hate me.
[42] I will make my arrows drunk with blood.
My sword shall devour flesh with the blood of the slain and the captives,
from the head of the leaders of the enemy.”
[43] Rejoice, you nations, with his people,
for he will avenge the blood of his servants.
He will take vengeance on his adversaries,
and will make atonement for his land and for his people.
[44] Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the son of Nun. [45] Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel. [46] He said to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I testify to you today, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law. [47] For it is no vain thing for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over the Jordan to possess it.” [48] Yahweh spoke to Moses that same day, saying, [49] “Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession. [50] Die on the mountain where you go up, and be gathered to your people, as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor, and was gathered to his people; [51] because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah of Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you didn’t uphold my holiness among the children of Israel. [52] For you shall see the land from a distance; but you shall not go there into the land which I give the children of Israel.”

King James Version
[1] Give ear,H238(HiphImpv) O ye heavens,H8064 and I will speak;H1696(PielImpf) and hear,H8085(QalImpf) O earth,H776 the wordsH561 of my mouth.H6310 [2] My doctrineH3948 shall dropH6201(QalImpf) as the rain,H4306 my speechH565 shall distilH5140(QalImpf) as the dew,H2919 as the small rainH8164 upon the tender herb,H1877 and as the showersH7241 upon the grass:H6212 [3] Because I will publishH7121(QalImpf) the nameH8034 of the Lord:H3068 ascribeH3051(QalImpv) ye greatnessH1433 unto our God.H430 [4] [He is] the Rock,H6697 his workH6467 [is] perfect:H8549 for all his waysH1870 [are] judgment:H4941 a GodH410 of truthH530 and without iniquity,H5766 justH6662 and rightH3477 [is] he. [5] They have corruptedH7843(PielPerf) themselves, their spotH3971 [is] not [the spot] of his children:H1121 [they are] a perverseH6141 and crookedH6618 generation.H1755 [6] Do ye thus requiteH1580(QalImpf) the Lord,H3068 O foolishH5036 peopleH5971 and unwise?H2450 [is] not he thy fatherH1 [that] hath boughtH7069(QalPerf) thee? hath he not madeH6213(QalPerf) thee, and establishedH3559(PoleImpf) thee? [7] RememberH2142(QalImpv) the daysH3117 of old,H5769 considerH995(QalImpv) the yearsH8141 of manyH1755 generations:H1755 askH7592(QalImpv) thy father,H1 and he will shewH5046(HiphImpf) thee; thy elders,H2205 and they will tellH559(QalImpf) thee. [8] When the most HighH5945 dividedH5157 to the nationsH1471 their inheritance,H5157(HiphInf) when he separatedH6504(HiphInf) the sonsH1121 of Adam,H120 he setH5324(HiphImpf) the boundsH1367 of the peopleH5971 according to the numberH4557 of the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478 [9] For the Lord’sH3068 portionH2506 [is] his people;H5971 JacobH3290 [is] the lotH2256 of his inheritance.H5159 [10] He foundH4672(QalImpf) him in a desertH4057 land,H776 and in the wasteH8414 howlingH3214 wilderness;H3452 he led him about,H5437(PoelImpf) he instructedH995(PoleImpf) him, he keptH5341(QalImpf) him as the appleH380 of his eye.H5869 [11] As an eagleH5404 stirreth upH5782(HiphImpf) her nest,H7064 flutterethH7363(PielImpf) over her young,H1469 spreadeth abroadH6566(QalImpf) her wings,H3671 takethH3947(QalImpf) them, bearethH5375(QalImpf) them on her wings:H84 [12] [So] the LordH3068 aloneH910 did leadH5148(HiphImpf) him, and [there was] no strangeH5236 godH410 with him. [13] He made him rideH7392(HiphImpf) on the high placesH1116 of the earth,H776 that he might eatH398(QalImpf) the increaseH8570 of the fields;H7704 and he made him to suckH3243(HiphImpf) honeyH1706 out of the rock,H5553 and oilH8081 out of the flintyH2496 rock;H6697 [14] ButterH2529 of kine,H1241 and milkH2461 of sheep,H6629 with fatH2459 of lambs,H3733 and ramsH352 of the breedH1121 of Bashan,H1316 and goats,H6260 with the fatH2459 of kidneysH3629 of wheat;H2406 and thou didst drinkH8354(QalImpf) the pureH2561 bloodH1818 of the grape.H6025 [15] But JeshurunH3484 waxed fat,H8080(QalImpf) and kicked:H1163(QalImpf) thou art waxen fat,H8080(QalPerf) thou art grown thick,H5666(QalPerf) thou art coveredH3780(QalPerf) [with fatness]; then he forsookH5203(QalImpf) GodH433 [which] madeH6213(QalPerf) him, and lightly esteemedH5034(PielImpf) the RockH6697 of his salvation.H3444 [16] They provoked him to jealousyH7065(HiphImpf) with strangeH2114(QalPtc) [gods], with abominationsH8441 provoked they him to anger.H3707(HiphImpf) [17] They sacrificedH2076(QalImpf) unto devils,H7700 not to God;H433 to godsH430 whom they knewH3045(QalPerf) not, to newH2319 [gods that] cameH935 newlyH7138 up,H935(QalPerf) whom your fathersH1 fearedH8175(QalPerf) not. [18] Of the RockH6697 [that] begatH3205(QalPerf) thee thou art unmindful,H7876(QalImpf) and hast forgottenH7911(QalImpf) GodH410 that formedH2342(PolePtc) thee. [19] And when the LordH3068 sawH7200(QalImpf) [it], he abhorredH5006(QalImpf) [them], because of the provokingH3708 of his sons,H1121 and of his daughters.H1323 [20] And he said,H559(QalImpf) I will hideH5641(HiphImpf) my faceH6440 from them, I will seeH7200(QalImpf) what their endH319 [shall be]: for they [are] a very frowardH8419 generation,H1755 childrenH1121 in whom [is] no faith.H529 [21] They have moved me to jealousyH7065(PielPerf) with [that which is] notH3808 God;H410 they have provoked me to angerH3707(PielPerf) with their vanities:H1892 and I will move them to jealousyH7065(HiphImpf) with [those which are] not a people;H5971 I will provoke them to angerH3707(HiphImpf) with a foolishH5036 nation.H1471 [22] For a fireH784 is kindledH6919(QalPerf) in mine anger,H639 and shall burnH3344(QalImpf) unto the lowestH8482 hell,H7585 and shall consumeH398(QalImpf) the earthH776 with her increase,H2981 and set on fireH3857(PielImpf) the foundationsH4144 of the mountains.H2022 [23] I will heapH5595(HiphImpf) mischiefsH7451 upon them; I will spendH3615(PielImpf) mine arrowsH2671 upon them. [24] [They shall be] burntH4198 with hunger,H7458 and devouredH3898(QalPasPtc) with burning heat,H7565 and with bitterH4815 destruction:H6986 I will also sendH7971(PielImpf) the teethH8127 of beastsH929 upon them, with the poisonH2534 of serpentsH2119(QalPtc) of the dust.H6083 [25] The swordH2719 without,H2351 and terrorH367 within,H2315 shall destroyH7921(PielImpf) both the young manH970 and the virgin,H1330 the sucklingH3243(QalActPtc) [also] with the manH376 of gray hairs.H7872 [26] I said,H559(QalPerf) I would scatter them into corners,H6284(HiphImpf) I would make the remembranceH2143 of them to ceaseH7673(HiphImpf) from among men:H582 [27] Were it notH3884 that I fearedH1481(QalImpf) the wrathH3708 of the enemy,H341(QalActPtc) lest their adversariesH6862 should behave themselves strangely,H5234(PielImpf) [and] lest they should say,H559(QalImpf) Our handH3027 [is] high,H7311(QalPerf) and the LordH3068 hath not doneH6466(QalPerf) all this. [28] For they [are] a nationH1471 voidH6(QalActPtc) of counsel,H6098 neither [is there any] understandingH8394 in them. [29] O thatH3863 they were wise,H2449(QalPerf) [that] they understoodH7919(HiphImpf) this, [that] they would considerH995(QalImpf) their latter end!H319 [30] How should oneH259 chaseH7291(QalImpf) a thousand,H505 and twoH8147 put tenH7233 thousandH505 to flight,H5127(HiphImpf) exceptH3808 their RockH6697 had soldH4376(QalPerf) them,H3588 and the LordH3068 had shut them up?H5462(HiphPerf) [31] For their rockH6697 [is] not as our Rock,H6697 even our enemiesH341(QalActPtc) themselves [being] judges.H6414 [32] For their vineH1612 [is] of the vineH1612 of Sodom,H5467 and of the fieldsH7709 of Gomorrah:H6017 their grapesH6025 [are] grapesH6025 of gall,H7219 their clustersH811 [are] bitter:H4846 [33] Their wineH3196 [is] the poisonH2534 of dragons,H8577 and the cruelH393 venomH7219 of asps.H6620 [34] [Is] not this laid up in storeH3647(QalPasPtc) with me, [and] sealed upH2856(QalPasPtc) among my treasures?H214 [35] To me [belongeth] vengeance,H5359 and recompence;H8005 their footH7272 shall slideH4131(QalImpf) in [due] time:H6256 for the dayH3117 of their calamityH343 [is] at hand,H7138 and the things that shall comeH6264 upon them make haste.H2363(QalPerf) [36] For the LordH3068 shall judgeH1777(QalImpf) his people,H5971 and repentH5162(HithImpf) himself for his servants,H5650 when he seethH7200(QalImpf) that [their] powerH3027 is gone,H235(QalPerf) and [there is] noneH657 shut up,H6113(QalPasPtc) or left.H5800(QalPasPtc) [37] And he shall say,H559(QalPerf) Where [are] their gods,H430 [their] rockH6697 in whom they trusted,H2620(QalPerf) [38] Which did eatH398(QalImpf) the fatH2459 of their sacrifices,H2077 [and] drankH8354(QalImpf) the wineH3196 of their drink offerings?H5257 let them rise upH6965(QalImpf) and helpH5826(QalImpf) you, [and] be your protection.H5643 [39] SeeH7200(QalImpv) now that I, [even] I, [am] he, and [there is] no godH430 with me: I kill,H4191(HiphImpf) and I make alive;H2421(PielImpf) I wound,H4272(QalPerf) and I heal:H7495(QalImpf) neither [is there any] that can deliverH5337(HiphPtc) out of my hand.H3027 [40] For I lift upH5375(QalImpf) my handH3027 to heaven,H8064 and say,H559(QalPerf) I liveH2416 for ever.H5769 [41] If I whetH8150(QalPerf) my glitteringH1300 sword,H2719 and mine handH3027 take holdH270(QalImpf) on judgment;H4941 I will renderH7725(HiphImpf) vengeanceH5359 to mine enemies,H6862 and will rewardH7999(PielImpf) them that hateH8130(PielPtc) me. [42] I will make mine arrowsH2671 drunkH7937(HiphImpf) with blood,H1818 and my swordH2719 shall devourH398(QalImpf) flesh;H1320 [and that] with the bloodH1818 of the slainH2491 and of the captives,H7633 from the beginningH7218 of revengesH6546 upon the enemy.H341(QalActPtc) [43] Rejoice,H7442(HiphImpv) O ye nations,H1471 [with] his people:H5971 for he will avengeH5358(QalImpf) the bloodH1818 of his servants,H5650 and will renderH7725(HiphImpf) vengeanceH5359 to his adversaries,H6862 and will be mercifulH3722(PielPerf) unto his land,H127 [and] to his people.H5971 [44] And MosesH4872 cameH935(QalImpf) and spakeH1696(PielImpf) all the wordsH1697 of this songH7892 in the earsH241 of the people,H5971 he, and HosheaH1954 the sonH1121 of Nun.H5126 [45] And MosesH4872 made an endH3615(PielImpf) of speakingH1696(PielInf) all these wordsH1697 to all Israel:H3478 [46] And he saidH559(QalImpf) unto them, SetH7760(QalImpv) your heartsH3824 unto all the wordsH1697 which I testifyH5749(HiphPtc) among you this day,H3117 which ye shall commandH6680(PielImpf) your childrenH1121 to observeH8104(QalInf) to do,H6213(QalInf) all the wordsH1697 of this law.H8451 [47] For it [is] not a vainH7386 thingH1697 for you; because it [is] your life:H2416 and through this thingH1697 ye shall prolongH748(HiphImpf) [your] daysH3117 in the land,H127 whither ye go overH5674(QalActPtc) JordanH3383 to possessH3423(QalInf) it. [48] And the LordH3068 spakeH1696(PielImpf) unto MosesH4872 that selfsameH6106 day,H3117 saying,H559(QalInf) [49] Get thee upH5927(QalImpv) into this mountainH2022 Abarim,H5682 [unto] mountH2022 Nebo,H5015 which [is] in the landH776 of Moab,H4124 that [is] over againstH6440 Jericho;H3405 and beholdH7200(QalImpv) the landH776 of Canaan,H3667 which I giveH5414(QalActPtc) unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 for a possession:H272 [50] And dieH4191(QalImpv) in the mountH2022 whither thou goest up,H5927(QalActPtc) and be gatheredH622(NiphImpf) unto thy people;H5971 as AaronH175 thy brotherH251 diedH4191(QalPerf) in mountH2022 Hor,H2023 and was gatheredH622(NiphImpv) unto his people:H5971 [51] Because ye trespassedH4603(QalPerf) against me amongH8432 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the watersH4325 of Meribah-Kadesh,H4808 in the wildernessH4057 of Zin;H6790 because ye sanctifiedH6942(PielPerf) me not in the midstH8432 of the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478 [52] Yet thou shalt seeH7200(QalImpf) the landH776 before [thee]; but thou shalt not goH935(QalImpf) thither unto the landH776 which I giveH5414(QalActPtc) the childrenH1121 of Israel.H3478
