Deuteronomy 32:9-14

Thomson(i) 9 And the Lord's portion was his people Jacob; Israel was his lot of inheritance. 10 He sustained them in the wilderness, In the drought of heat, in a land without water. He led them about, and instructed them; He kept them as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle would defend his nest, And, when anxious for his young, would spread out his wings, and receive them, And bare them up on his shoulders; 12 The Lord alone conducted them, And there was not a strange god with them. 13 He brought them up to the strength of this land, He fed them with the products of the fields; They sucked honey out of a rock, And oil out of a flinty rock; 14 With butter of kine, and with milk of sheep; With the fattest of lambs and rams, young bulls and goats, And with bread of the choicest wheat; And they drank wine, the pure juice of the grape.
